SPA-FRANCORCHAMPS, Belgium -- Lewis Hamilton thinks Formula Ones grid penalties are far too technical for the average fan to understand and has suggested a simple solution is a return to V10 or V12 engines.Hamilton has been hit with a 55-place grid penalty this weekend following multiple engine changes by Mercedes. The first was always inevitable after a spate of engine troubles early in the season, with Mercedes then effectively taking further changes this weekend to stockpile fresh engines for the world champion to avoid future penalties in 2016.The FIA regulations split the V6 turbos into six components, with drivers allowed five of each per season before incurring penalties. Changing each component beyond that amount leads to a separate penalty.This changes this weekend mean Hamilton has used eight turbochargers and eight MGU-Hs, as well as six internal combustion engines and MGU-Ks. The world champion thinks the average fan would struggle to explain what some of those components actually are.What do I think to the actual rule? The fact that we have six components to the actual engine and mismatch, its just that I dont think is great, Hamilton said. I was watching the qualifying session and they [the TV cameras] went to Fernando [Alonso] and it said five, five, five, five, five, five [used components], but I asked him and he said he was on his sixth at least or maybe more.They had it for some other people which it wasnt correct, and the people watching it dont care about that -- its far too technical, far too complicated. Most people watching dont know what an MGU-H is and dont bloody care!And it doesnt sound good, the engines dont sound good, do they? I still look online and watch old races of the old cars and its sounding great, and I miss that. One day I hope they come back to that and simplify it -- a V12 or a V10!The size of Hamiltons penalty -- 55 places on a grid consisting of 22 slots -- has confused many observers. The FIAs penalties are handed out on an endless grid, with anything greater than 20 places effectively a back row start. Each change must be given a corresponding penalty as per the rules.Hamiltons former teammate Jenson Button thinks F1 should stop talking about the number when it exceeds a certain amount.Asked if he felt it was unfair that drivers were punished for engine changes, Button said: I think the number just shouldnt be there. We should obviously get penalised... if we go over the amount of engines were supposed to use, or the other parts, we should get penalised.Someone asked me does this mean you get another penalty? [in the race] -- it doesnt. Thats why Mercedes have put three engines in this weekend. So the figures are pointless and I dont think we should bother talking about them anymore. But I think we should get penalties for using too many engines, yes.Though Mercedes has used a quirk in the regulations to effectively ensure Hamilton will not get any more grid penalties this year, team boss Toto Wolff has revealed the team had pushed for that loophole to be closed ahead of the 2016 season.Last year, we had a race where Jenson [Button] took 52 places which was so ridiculous that we brought forward a regulation that said you cannot stockpile engines so, if you use more than one engine on a given race weekend, that shouldnt be happening.Its sad that the regulation proposal wasnt accepted by the other teams so, this time around, we did the same thing and decided to take more engines on board and put them on stock. The system is far from perfect, and sounds a bit ridiculous.Ross Stripling Jersey .05 million next season unless Graham and the Saints subsequently agree on a long-term deal.
