Grid Penalty Question

Post

Suppose a driver qualifies in 5th and has a ten spot penalty hanging over his head, so he is demoted to 15th. Another driver qualifies 10th and has a 5 spot penalty hanging over his head... and he gets 15th? Who goes where?

The order will be the same, as the chronological order of incidents for which the penalties were given. For example, if Vettel and Barrichello qualified 1st and 6th, Vettel would have started from 11th, because he was penalised for Australian incident.

Checked the rules, actually it seems to be the opposite. :oops:
Once the grid has been established in accordance with a) and b) above, grid position penalties will be applied to the drivers in question in the order the offences were committed. If more than one driver incurs a penalty under Article 28.4a) or Article 28.6a) preference will be given to the driver whose team first informed the technical delegate that an engine or gearbox change will be carried out.

If someone said to me that you can have three wishes, my first would have been to get into racing, my second to be in Formula 1, my third to drive for Ferrari.
