Coulthard on reviewing engine-related grid penalties
David Coulthard says Formula 1 should review engine-related grid penalties, arguing the power unit allocation rules no longer serve their original purpose of encouraging reliability. Coulthard said: "I still think we should have a bit of a review of all of those penalties. I think it's going back to a bygone era where they were trying to encourage teams to be reliable. Quickly, it's in everyone's interest to be reliable."
