Agreed. If you need to take a technical penalty because your PU is unreliable, that should not be instead of the racing penalty. If taking a full PU means you start from P20, the racing penalty should be rolled over to the next race. Otherwise, a midfield driver that needs a new PU effectively can benefit from the technical penalty.
What is hilarious is that Max will take a grid penalty from an engine change caused by a crash with Hamilton where Hamilton was penalized (found at fault) at the same time as he takes a grid penalty for a crash with Hamilton where Max himself was penalized (found at fault).Just_a_fan wrote: ↑23 Sep 2021, 19:01Agreed.

what do you mean rolled forward?
Then how to do ensure a subjective penalty is actually served then? if you don't ensure they get served you are opening a Pandora's box imo!
A great point. Hadn't thought about it that way.nzjrs wrote: ↑23 Sep 2021, 19:14What is hilarious is that Max will take a grid penalty from an engine change caused by a crash with Hamilton where Hamilton was penalized (found at fault) at the same time as he takes a grid penalty for a crash with Hamilton where Max himself was penalized (found at fault).Just_a_fan wrote: ↑23 Sep 2021, 19:01Agreed.

Hilarious, deeply troubling for this forum, and yet perfectly balanced as all things should be.
I think that box has been open since technical penalties were introduced.
You should read this, as this has been an issue for a while, and Max was i believe the last person who had to deal with it.Zynerji wrote: ↑23 Sep 2021, 19:38I think that box has been open since technical penalties were introduced.
Why is it NOW such a big deal? Oh, because you favorite driver doesn't benefit in this particular incident...
The stewards have confirmed Max Verstappen will have to serve a ten-second time penalty into the Canadian Grand Prix.
Verstappen was due to serve a ten-place grid penalty for using his fifth engine of the season, one more than the maximum allocation. However As he qualified 12th out of 19 qualifiers, and already had a five-place grid penalty to serve, only two out of the ten places could be counted.
