Title: F1 chiefs to discuss driver penalty point system in Barcelona
Post by: John S on May 05, 2013, 10:13:29 AM

Footy style tot up & ban to replace grid drops coming soon?  :DntKnw:

This has been talked about before but it now seems to be gaining ground. Trouble is naughty boys can do quite a bit of damage before they get a race ban, particularly at starts, if the points total is set too high and they can't be sent to the back of the pack.  ::)

Also reference, in AFP news agency piece below, to drivers' frustrations over fines they thought where bought off in hiked super licence fees.  :crazy:
Could it be Jean and his crew need the cash since Bernie seems unwilling to open CVC's purse again?  :D

If it's copying anything from football, then I say no on principle.
