DC ten spot penalty

Post

If the team knew there was a engine problem shuoldn't they have shut off the engine after he crossed the line and make him walk back to the pits? or would that be against regulations or rules?

But if it was something that they did not see happening sucks to be DC, he needs to prove he has the speed to continue for RBR next year, he seems like a good guy.
Simon: Nils? You can close in now. Nils?
John McClane: [on the guard's phone] Attention! Attention! Nils is dead! I repeat, Nils is dead, ----head. So's his pal, and those four guys from the East German All-Stars, your boys at the bank? They're gonna be a little late.
Simon: [on the phone] John... in the back of the truck you're driving, there's $13 billon dollars worth in gold bullion. I wonder would a deal be out of the question?
John McClane: [on the phone] Yeah, I got a deal for you. Come out from that rock you're hiding under, and I'll drive this truck up your ass.

If the engine is shot, it's shot. It's illegal to retire a healthy car now after BAR did it last year when they were out of the points so that they could change their engines.
