Why do F1 penalties happen?
Formula 1 teams face penalties for exceeding limits on engine parts, a rule designed to control costs and encourage reliability. Kimi Antonelli's 20-place grid penalty at Monza is because his team used too many components, meaning he'll start much further back than his qualifying performance would normally allow. This adds a strategic challenge to his championship bid.
