Corner Cutting in Ranked

Tricky one unless they manage to detect the reason for corner cutting. I've received a warning for corner cutting when I was only avoiding a collision yesterday. While turning into the corner, other cars in front of me collided and I had to break and turn in sharp to avoid driving into these cars. I left the track on the inside of the turn, but didn't speed up, I stepped off the gas - still received a warning. The game has all the data that the race stewards in real life would have to ask the teams for first, it should be possible to program the game to check if someone cut a corner to gain an advantage or not. If they do this, then they should absolutely apply stricter rules, but the way it is now, and with all the collisions you have to avoid especially in the first laps of a race, I actually don't mind that it is not set to strict right now. Otherwise you might get penalized for "avoiding collisions too many times" - that would be a silly and totally non-realistic reason for a penalty, wouldn't it?

Like I said, it's a tricky one...

Yes the same thing has happened to me. Last week at Brazil I go off the track to avoid a collision of 3 cars at the beginning of Sector 2 and I got a x2 illegal overtake and I was HEATED. 

Is it just me or Regular corner cutting was never this lenient in past games? I always thought the solution was somewhere in between Regular and Strict because like Eau Rouge at Spa was broken on strict you couldn't drive over the kerb at the crest of the hill like the drivers do in real life. Some little broken sections here and there but I think I'd prefer the Strict setting taken to the extreme than what we have currently which is just an absolute free for all for lap time. Seems like it only works if you overtake off track 

Talk about giving back a position for illegal overtaking: In a situation, in which you only avoid other cars that have collided, I wouldn't even know which cars I would have to let me pass again. The game shouldn't just tell us to give a position back and start a countdown, it should clearly tell us which car to let pass. Hmmm ... was this ever suggested to Codemasters?!?
