That's how it's done. Pick up a grid penalty,then don't play for a few rounds to make it go away. :thumbup:

I bet the wording of the rule is changed soon.

Are we going to have a sweepstake on which lap he is going to crash and who he is going to take out with him?

Aah. Ok. That's a bit scary! I do get that he needs to push on, but knowing a smidge about shoulders, every time I see him crash I wince, just in case!

(I am certain-sure he's got all the airbag protection and any other protection they can give him, but I still wince!!)

I didn't know it was a requirement, but I kinda meant specifically on the shoulder area - from what I've seen, generic airbag systems don't give much extra to the top of the humerus bit. But I'm sure he's been set up with the best kit
