Remember this guy?

Webber, the logical mind of F1.

Our Mark Webber is never far away from F1. He recently shared his thoughts at the FIA Sport Conference in Geneva where he suggested that grid penalties are a bit harsh and generally not good for the sport. I'm inclined to agree Mark. For a mechanic to replace a gear box it's currently the driver that cops the penalty where it should be the team. Mark has suggested the penalty should be paid in manufactures championship points instead and not by an innocent driver to be pushed back down the grid. With logic like Mark has, I don't see why the FIA haven't given him a behind-the-scenes gig. Hang on, it wasn't Mark that suggested introducing fake rain was it? No dummy, that was old Bernie, The Colonel Tom Parker of motorsport.
