Yes, but they can still add additional PU parts tomorrow before FP3 to his stack. Mercedes used 5 additional tokens before this week's race. Customer teams will receive upgraded units on following races.
And I laughed pretty hard when somebody proposed to Sky crew that Lewis should do something to get his 3rd reprimand and so he would served 10 grid spot penalty on top of all others

Would telling Todt to fuck off work? Feels like a great way to get a reprimand.

4 different areas.
Just some random shots to show how close you can get to the track from the bronze areas.
Apparently showing up late to the press conference would have done the job. Alternatively he could have held up a couple of people in free practice.
Watch his tyre explode like in Spa last year and in Austria this year.
Teams that went with aggressive super soft tyre allocation are (IMHO) quite fucked for the race. At least from what I observed in FP2. Of course mandatory pressures are very high and a lot of teams really struggled today (Williams...)
Supersofts are going out rapidly. 4 laps max with heavy car and degradation is very high even on low fuel runs. I think that the most optimal starting compound will be soft. They can lasts up to 14 laps. Medium compound was not optimal choice today, quite slow and with big degradation

Feel sorry for people like Vandoorne and Frijns who clearly deserve to be in F1 but can't make it because the seats are gone. Then they have to watch Palmer (who is not quite as terrible as GAF makes him out to be but is still pretty shit) and Haryanto getting in instead.
The biggest difference between F1 when I started watching it and now is the loss of the midfield teams as the place where talent is brought up (e.g. Sauber giving starts to Raikkonen and Massa, Williams to Button, etc) - that's where the financial strain has a real impact.

Just recently a user here said the teams agreed to ease the engine penalty rules on condition of agreeing not to abuse them.
What is this then???
What else can they do?
If they aren't serious about managing engine costs, the teams will kill themselves off with costs.
There has to be a way of limiting the engine componants so the poorer teams can continue to compete and the rich teams don't get an unreasonable advantage.
It's a fudge to stop there being a situation where somebody ends up at the back of the grid several races in a row because of engine penalties which carried over.
Given most of the time the people with engine penalties have already suffered (dropping out of qualifying and/or races) I think that in the grand scheme of things it's a fair compromise. That said, I wouldn't necessarily be averse to some rule which says you can only introduce an extra engine part if you've had a mechanical problem (e.g. you can't introduce your seventh MGU-H at the same weekend you introduced your sixth unless you can prove there's a defect).

Team gets not constructor championship points for the race from that drivers car when they switch stuff over the limit. At least that way you don't punish the driver.

Vettel and slow traffic do not get along this season.
Let's say it's the Japanese Grand Prix.
Manor are on their last engine MGU-K componant and then Pascal Wehrlein gets crashed into by, I don't know, Gutierrez say, and gets taken out of the race.
After, they realise that the MGU-K is damaged and they have to replace it, forcing them to use a sixth MGU-K and so they get a penalty - meaning they won't get constructor's points for the next weekend.
But then the Austin race is crazy and Wehrlein finishes tenth and Nasr ninth. Normally, Manor would get one point to give them two for the season, but because they are not allowed to take Constructors points because of the penalty, they don't get that one point and so end up being overtaken by Sauber in the Constructors' Championship.
Manor end up finishing 11th and lose millions in prize money at the end of the season.
Hamilton struggling with a car set up for overtaking is a good highlight as to why Formula 1 should become an overtaking formula and not continue as the get pole and cruise to victory formula.
Pat Symonds was right when he talked about the issues of overtaking and that the regulations should force teams to build cars made for overtaking.

What happened with Verstappen ? Issues with the car ? Which will lead to some penalty ?
