  • Engine penalties

    From XYXPDQ@21:1/5 to All on Sat Aug 27 14:19:40 2022
    The engine allocation system is a real mess.

    The penalty for taking extra parts is much less than the one for not taking them and failing to be competitive or even finish a race.

    F1 has been buggered up for a long long time.

    There is nothing wrong going with a spec car branded with manufacturers/engines/colors/sponsors etc...only then can we separate
    the racers from the drivers. Until then its just the haves against the
    have nots.

    F1 is adding an additional power unit for '23 but the schedule is for 24 races. Since this is a money issue, like most of F1, the best solution is an equal distribution of TV revenue.

    Ya. Did you enjoy 15 cars, 10 seconds apart, on the last lap, today?

    Yes, even more so if that had been the FIRST fifteen cars and the winner was determined on the last lap.
