Maybe for damage wholly cause by another driver:
1. No grid spot penalty for power unit change.
2. No penalty for power unit parts replaced due to the collision.

Something should be done. It isn't fair to punish teams and drivers for non-fault collisions.

A standard price list of components and cap relief for like for like components that need to be replaced due to crashes (Period) I considered "crashes when the driver is not at fault", but that's another can of worms that is probably best avoided.

This should be a pretty easy thing to do in F1.

Towing provided. Body shop on-site. Mechanics and technicians on-site. Physicians on-site. Hospital services provided. Airlifting from the crash site to higher tier facilities available.

With all those services provided, I'm guessing the premium will be about $1,200 to $1,500 per year.

I'm guessing Allianz, Lloyds, State Farm or Progressive can be talked into this. Where is Bernie when we need him?!?!!

About the only rule that I can see working is a penalty pass if a teams engine is damaged in an accident involving a competitor...not sure if fault should be a part of it,
Perhaps also a supplementary fund allowance to the cost cap for accident repairs in such a case.

Sounds good to me!!! Subtracting fault from the equation would make it much less of a Charlie Foxtrot.

Don't know why Todt hasn't pushed this in, even Stewart is saying more practical things take a long time to happen in F1.

''This''. . Stroll's fault and he likely doesn't get g/p yet Chas will probably get mullered left right and centre with repair bill AND grid penalty.
It's the same with Red Bull Racing,just far far more expensive as bot/merc get off with virtually nothing with cheap repair and RB have one new chassis replace and TWO engines and a gearbox from bot and ham strikes.
FIA is dragging it's feet and still living in the past. It has the 'race for road safety' insignia yet road safety depends on insurance also. Todt knows well you can't drive a vehicle without insurance doesn't he or does he get chauffeured everywhere?

RB hasn't a blank cheque like Merc have.

Imagine getting a high speed puncture with those on,I think they should keep what they have and save huge cost of planning and building new chassis to accommodate these 'fashion' wheels. F1 is not Indy Car.

They could have gone to say 14-15'' just for appearance sake (which they are only doing this for)..the harsh ride will be magnified twice with these brick tyres.
