![]() ![]() What happens, for instance, if you're told to fall behind car x but, before you can comply, car x stops, or runs off the track and loses a dozen positions, or makes a pit stop? ![]() I suppose the reason for the reluctance to use track position penalties is the difficulty of being consistent, and how to react to unexpected scenarios. The penalty should, at the very least, put you back behind the car that you passed illegitimately. Once you're ahead, however illegitimately, you just pull out a gap of at least 5s. If you're a second a lap quicker than the car in front and there are 10 laps left, but you can't get past, at the moment there's nothing to deter you from abusing track limits to make the pass. I'd much prefer some of the time penalties being awarded currently being replaced with penalties that involved giving up track position to one or more cars.Ībsolutely. ![]() Or - and this is controversial - we could just accept that football and motor racing are nothing like each other? Just a thought. Applying that to F1, an unfair move on track might result in the offending driver being required to give up track position (equivalent to having to give up possession of the ball), and in particularly serious cases where the driver's behaviour was grossly unfair or dangerous, then this might be accompanied by a black and white flag to indicate that any repeat will see the driver black flagged and disqualified. ![]() In football, if a referee thinks a foul has been committed he will require the offending team to turn possession over to their opponents by awarding a free kick (unless the offending team doesn't have the ball in which case the game may continue). Those incidents could maybe attract a yellow card.Īny poor driving standards on the track would be comparable to foul play which, in football, is penalised primarily by free kicks and only secondarily by yellow cards. If you wanted - for some reason - to apply that to motorsport, I suppose the equivalent of an off-the-ball incident would be pit lane altercations such as Matt Neal on Jason Plato, or Schumacher on Coulthard. not in conjunction with a free kick or penalty kick) for off-the-ball incidents such as dissent or timewasting - basically any offence that is committed while the ball is dead. Or, yellow cards can be given separately (i.e. The yellow card can be shown in addition to the free kick for more serious fouls. The penalty for foul play in football is usually a free kick. ![]()
