First lap incidents: a possible suggestion
#8

I get your point but, what you mention is the effect as it is now, my propose is directed to be a deterrent in order to be more caution in the first seconds after race start, that is the moment with highest risk because cars are all packed together.
I know that in case of incidents, that will happen as well, some driver would get an heavier penalization despite themselves, but the perspective of a rating and point loss will definitely reduce the probability of occurrence (can't say how much though), thus reducing the overall risk, with benefit for every driver.
