I did a very fast Google search on IndyCar engine rules, and it looks like after you use your initial four, it impacts the engine championship by no points being awarded. I can see that working well for IndyCar where... (1) they apparently have an engine championship (2) they don’t have manufacturers who run teams (everyone is a customer of a manufacture). Neither scenario applies to F1.

What you found by Googleing is more or less a brief summary of the rules regarding engines. Here's the link to IndyCar engine rules.

True F1 doesn't have an engine manufacturer's championship, however a number of teams are are engine customers and it's the team and their driver that get clobbered by the grid penalty because of the engine. Both series have engine rules and I'm just suggesting using IndyCar's engine rules or adapting them to F1, so that the grid penalty can be eliminated.
