What a farce!

Grid penalties of 50 places..... there are only 20 on the grid. Drive-throughs within the first three laps. Five second penalties as well!

It is drivers and fans who are being punished for the technical failures of teams. Fine them and take constructor's points away, but FCOL leave what little is left of the racing alone.

I confess to knowing nothing about F1. How does that work then? Just a major shuffle around of starting positions?

Yes, but because they are being given 50 place grid penalties they carry them for about three races.

Unless you are Lewis Hamilton and then your team can do what they like and you all get away with it
