No, your reasoning does not make any sense. In the case one car is simply pushed wide, they would be asked to switch positions. Which does not make sense for an intra team battle.chrisc90 wrote: ↑05 Oct 2023, 20:40Lets say 10 laps from the end, purely for reasonings sake, it would be the same anyhow at whatever point in the race.
Team A drivers fighting for 3rd position, the last step on the podium.
Car A from Team A sends it down the inside and manages to make the move stick by both cars going through the corner level. Car A on the inside, and car B on the outside.
Car A then runs that car out wide, pushing Car B off the track and onto the grass.
At this point, you have a car forcing another off the track, so as what we normally see, thats a 10second penalty. (Lets not argue about fine specifics that Car B is entitled to XYZ, Just the pure fact that Car A forced Car B off the track)
Both Car A and Car B are from the same team A.
Behind is Team B at 6 seconds, and it drops down to 5 seconds after Car B from Team A rejoined the track. At this point your gaps are.
Team A - Car A. 0:000 (lets presume the gap to 2nd place is totally irrelevant)
Team A - Car B + 3seconds
Team B - Car A/b +5seconds.
Stewards note the incident and investigate, .......
You would need to discuss a case where someone is send into a wall or rotated.
