Hot take but they should make grid penalties carry over into the next race if they couldn't serve all of them at once

@NotFifthGear Terrible take imo You don’t get the same benefit of the new components in the other races and you’d still get the penalty

@NotFifthGear I get your point. But the other side of the coin is, it may be a bit unfair. For example, Yuki may end up getting a 10 place grid penalty, best case scenario, for 6 races straight.

@NotFifthGear Imagine being Logan Sargeant or something and getting a 60 place grid penalty; that would mean last place for every single race of the season…

@NotFifthGear 2015 would disagree 😭

@NotFifthGear Yuki would be starting last in 3 consecutive races. Over 10% of the season starting 20th.

@NotFifthGear No

@NotFifthGear that would go crazy, with how slow the McLaren was it would probably carry over to the next season

@NotFifthGear Alonso would still be serving penalties from 2015

@NotFifthGear If they increased the penalty free allowance I can see this working

@NotFifthGear god dont take us back to 2015

@NotFifthGear I’m going opposite. Get rid of the penalties altogether.

@NotFifthGear Then probably allow more engine parts to be created / used or lower the grid penalty for each part 🤔 (ngl 60 is a shit ton)

@NotFifthGear Penalties should be lower for that to be realistically possible

@NotFifthGear Imagine Bottas reaching Q3 after getting a +60 that he served 2 by 2 for 10GP 😭

@NotFifthGear Why destroy his chances for several races when you could just put him a lap or 2 down in one race.

@NotFifthGear Great idea!

@NotFifthGear Counterpoint: I think if it is an excessive place grid penalty like this one, they should have to start the race from a relative distance away that is the equivalent distance to that grid place penalty.

@NotFifthGear Nahhh

@NotFifthGear I don’t think Yuki should penalized for 3, or even 4 races bc he took a new engine

@NotFifthGear What if you are in a bad car and qualify 18th every race? Does a 20 place grid penalty effect every one of the remaining races? This is the dumbest rule idea I've heard

@NotFifthGear Any total grid penalties over 15 will be an automatic start at the back of the grid. We can say that it’s a 60 place grid penalty, but it’s not. The 10 place grid penalties are also for the first time going over the allotted amount. They change to 5 after serving the first one.

@NotFifthGear Nah, imagine the whole engine “blows up” and they have to miss 3 quali sessions because of it

@NotFifthGear Pointless. You’d see multiple qualifying sessions where teams don’t bother trying. Would ruin the sport
