Of course it means race otherwise they would have given the penalty in sprint race.

no, that goes back to a different part of the rulebook:

"The first time an additional element is used: Ten (10) grid place penalty for the race."

edit: it's actually explained in the rules as well. "Competition" means whole weekend

"Competition means any competition entered into the FIA Formula One Championship Calendar for any year commencing four (4) hours before P1 is scheduled to start and ending at the time for the lodging of a protest under the terms of the Code or the time when a technical or sporting certification has been carried out under the terms of the Code, whichever is the later."

It’s almost endearing that you folks believe that he will skip a penalty if they don’t race here.

I edited my post above for more clarity, and it's solely based on the rules. I don't care at all who it is about.

It does sound like a loophole but is the penalty that was imposed really served if the race is cancelled?

Surely not. So I think it carries over.

If you don't serve a penalty it carries over.

Well, I guess this is AGAIN a case of very strong opinions over rules, that those with the strongest opinion have never read.

Successful rain dancing is always a loophole in F1.

Surely not. So I think it carries over.

No.
The rules on restricted number components clearly states:
"Penalties applied under the provisions of this Article are cumulative and apply only to the
Competition where they have been incurred."

But I still think they will find a slot to run some laps.

Have they been incurred if no race has happened?

PU penalties are bound to the race weekend, they do not carry over. That's why they came up with the rule to prevent stockpiling PU's in a weekend.

If the new ICE was since yesterday in the car, yes. If not...no.

But if the loophole is accurate, if you used one ICE in FP1, other one in FP2 and third in FP3 by that reading you get only one +15 penalty (stockpiling).

It probably means that they consider only ICE used for the race as a "used" component. So you can't stockpile.

You have to announce the use and then get penalty in advance.

Why do you not read the rules? This would clear up this question...

How many F1 races have been cancelled? a loophole? seriously?

No. There is no such thing as stockpiling.

So it looks like Max might not need to serve the penalty if the race is cancelled.

I agree. There is no provision in the regulations for carrying forward an engine penalty to the "next competition". That is in contrast to the sporting regulations regarding driving infringements, for which there is a written provision for carrying forward a penalty to the driver's next race if circumstances mean that it is not served in the weekend where the infringement occurred.

Yeah seems like a small oversight could benefit Max if the race isn't run.

If it is not cancelled, the car probably still will be good enough for Max to nab a podium with the wet weather
