'I mean, it’s a double-edged sword...' F1
George Russell described the grid penalty system for power unit changes as a “double-edged sword”, given the sustainability aspects involved in its introduction.
But the teams have regularly overused parts this season, with seven drivers getting penalised at Spa and nine taking penalties in Italy, the teams believing the high-speed layouts offer overtaking opportunities which could help them make up the places they lose in race trim.This has led to grids being significantly jumbled up at those events, with no driver starting the race in the slot in which they had qualified in Belgium.
“I mean, it’s a double-edged sword,” Russell told reporters when discussing the grid penalty system, quoted by MotorsportWeek. “With more and more races, we have three engines to take us through 23 races, running flat-out on a single engine.
