I apologise for resurrecting this thread but I need somewhere to keep track and here will do the job. (I‘m so sorry – avoid this thread at all costs if you get bored easily)
A quick reminder of the Power Unit rules for 2015: http://www.fia.com/s... 2015-03-01.pdf (pages 20-22)
A Power Unit consists of 6 components: 1) Internal combustion engine (ICE) 2) motor generator unit-kinetic (MGU-K) 3) motor generator unit-heat (MGU-H) 4) turbocharger (TC) 5) energy store (ES) 6) control electronics (CE).
Each driver can use four of each of the above six components during a season and any combination of them may be fitted to a car at any one time. (Unless he drives for more than 1 team - If a driver is replaced during the season his replacement will be deemed to be the original driver for the purposes of assessing power unit usage).
If a driver uses more than 4 of any of the 6 components a grid penalty will be applied at the event the additional component is used. Penalties will be applied as below and are cumulative :
The first time a 5th of any of the elements is used = Ten grid place penalty.
The first time a 5th of any of the remaining elements is used = Five grid place penalty.
The first time a 6th of any of the elements is used = Ten grid place penalty.
The first time a 6th of any of the remaining elements is used = Five grid place penalty.
and so on.
If a grid penalty is imposed and the full amount can’t be applied then the rest will be taken in the form of a time penalty:
1-5 untaken = 5 second penalty at 1st pit stop
6-10 untaken = 10 second penalty at 1st pit stop
11-20 untaken = Drive through penalty
>20 =10 second stop and go penalty

As I said at the start I sincerely apologise for the monstrosity that this thread is.

(for the 6th engine = 10 (for 1st part) + 5+5+5+5+5 (for the other 5 components) +35 for complete 7th unit + 35 for 8th unit. so that would be a 20 place grid drop from pole which means 85 would be converted into a time penalty (which looks like it would just be a stop and go (more than places 20) which is quite a lenient penalty considering. Although that would then mean no upgrades could be added to those engines....
