Bahrain and Saudi being a day early is extremely frustrating for someone working during that time. Fake illness for 2 Friday qualifyings in a row?

A 10-second time penalty will be the handed down for overtaking a driver off the track this year. Last year it was 5 seconds and we had a few instances where it was seen as worthwhile for a driver to overtake off track and build the 5 second buffer which circumvented the rule on many occasions

I don't really mind the new "we won't tell you to give the position back" position. But if they won't tell you to give the position back, I think there's still the necessity to have a mechanism to force the driver at fault back in egregious cases. I loved the Haas/Magnussen tactic last race, but I wouldn't mind seeing race control hand out a drive through if a driver stacks up a certain number of time penalties. For example, if you have 20 seconds of outstanding time penalties to serve, that's an immediate drive through. This way nobody is "told" to give the position back, and the offending driver will most likely fall behind the car they overtook illegally.

The issue is that penalties are not being served immediately. In the old days, if there was a penalty, they had 3 laps to serve it.

These time penalties added to end of race time or served at pitstop is silly as it gives a driver plenty of time in some cases to create the 5 sec gap on track, or be something unfair like Sainz last OZ year.

I don't understand what you mean by immediately serving a time penalty.

Go to your box, serve the penalty and keep on racing.

I see. I wouldn't mind returning to this. Harsh but fair. Even a 5 sec penalty would be quite a deterrent.
