Totally silly, especially in yesterday's qualifying, as soon as I was impressed with a display by a driver, the commentator kept saying, "but he won't get eh position because of grid penalty", I couldn't even keep track of it.
Perhaps instead they should give a whining-penalty, first driver to whine that it is too wet to race gets a 10 second penalty.
"oh my goodness I slid off the track, I could have broke a finger nail, stop the race!"
