This has been mentioned before but realy think we should look into this again.
The current WAR system is very good as it doesn't put the responsability with just a few people, and it takes into account the oppinion of the Teams. (altough the involved parties shouldn't be allowed to vote)
But time penalties don't work for a few reasons :
- The effect of the penalty to is random, guys finishing at the top will almost always get penalised more as there the time gaps in the result are smaller. Look at RPM they usually are affected more with a penalty then other teams, as they ussualy finish high up. No disrespect to ANE but rarely they will have any affect, just look at the latest inicent report.
- The voting itself may be influenced as the the TS may look at the time gaps see which penalty has an effect. This leads to a voting not beeing consistend.
- Some drivers might even not repport a incident as the other driver might have a DNF and then there is a big chance there is no real penalty given anyway.
Therefore i think it would be better to deduct points, this would give a more fair and equal system in my view.
Same incident should get same penalty, and not the random penalty we have now.
Can we have a discussion about this ?
