I agree that a penalty is rather odd, but then again, I would think that considering their fairly good form in races, they were doing themselves more harm than good by not participating. Hell, look at HHF's qualifying at Silverstone, fantastic stuff!.

Now,I would like to ask a question concerning the non-qualifying.

Why do this? It seems to me that if you go to all the trouble of getting your team there, why not run the race? Sure, the motors will be burnt up, and there is always the risk of a chassis ruining crash, but things must be extremely tight for them not to be able to afford the "operating cost"-engines, brakes etc to run cars that are already there.
I didn't go through the threads immediatly after the race concerning Arrows, so if it was already discussed, sorry.
