Craig Lowndes has backed the stewards' tough approach on Richie Stanaway's reckless Supercars weekend at the Australian Grand Prix.
Stanaway was disqualified from the series' fifth race and was served a $10,000 fine for his hunting and shunting of Leigh Holdsworth on Saturday.
The penalty removes Stanaway's points from his 17th place finish but lands a heavier reputational hit on the 27-year-old.
Boost Mobile team boss Garry Rogers held the line on his bad boy Kiwi but Lowndes took a dim view of Stanaway's high-speed overtaking efforts.
"That could have quite easily sent Leigh into a concrete wall and destroyed a Mustang," Lowndes said on Fox Sports.
