WestHam66 57 Posted June 24, 2020 As AI drivers only take single power unit penalties, unlike real F1 where they might take two, three or four to get a near-fresh power unit, would it be fairer if I did the same and just took one at a time? I need a new ICE, MGU-K and Turbo Charger, but if I take the new components in the same way the AI does, I'll be near the back for three races, rather than just the one as a real driver would be. Do you take penalties in one go or individually? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
marioho 687 Posted June 24, 2020 You can take all three new parts in the same GP, bundled it all in a single massive penalty thus starting only one race at the back of the grid. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
EduCalza 124 Posted June 24, 2020 In my last race I saw Riccia starting from P20 by 40 grid penalty, round 15. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Hmm I see. I've been away from the sport for long time so I can't say how these things play out on real F1, but seems to me that the AI often takes a bunch of heavy penalties at a time too? Just last race (USA) Hamilton took a 5 places penalty, Vettel and Leclerc 15 and there was someone with a 40 or 45 penalty. Unfortunately I don't know what caused them but it was definitely noteworthy. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
