    I completely agree.

    It's been a while, but IIRC wasn't Schumacher excluded from the entire
    1997 championship for a similar act?

    No...

    He got a two-race ban in 1994, but not an entire season.

    Excluded from the WDC (stripped of all points, retained all wins and
    other finishing positions) for driving into Villeneuve at the season-
    ending GP in Jerez.


    I'd forgotten that, and I was thinking of it only in terms of being
    banned from races after the incident.

    I do love the call from...was it Damon Hill?

    I’m pretty sure it was Brundle.

    Yes. Black flag instantly.

    Wasn't that for ignoring a black flag at Silverstone?

    I believe so.

    As others have pointed out, he had his points for the 1997 season taken
    away after the fact, but that's something else again.
