Worth flagging that McLaren managed the only team 1-2 of the entire 2021 season at this race last yearall Mclaren row 2
Leclerc-Russell front row and all Mclaren row 2 I believe? De Vries goes from 8th.
Verstappen doesn't start THAT far backEasy win for Leclerc tomorrow.
This will most likely happen too.Unless... 🐎🤡

I don't know if they're applied based on severity, but I think your method of leaving the original positions of penalised drivers open until the end is correct. At the 2016 Austrian GP, Rosberg and Vettel both got 5 place grid penalties. Rosberg qualified second, but started sixth, because Vettel qualified fourth (and ended up starting in ninth). So in this situation Verstappen will start 4th since Sainz, Perez and Hamilton are right behind him and also getting penalties.OK, so I'm now 99% sure the penalties are applied in order of severity, and if anyone has the same, THEN it's on quali order. So the order of the penalties to be applied are:
VER + 5
OCO + 5
PER + 10
BOT + 15
MAG + 15
MSC + 15
SAI - Back
HAM - Back
TSU - Back
Which means this should be the correct procedure. Well, it's my final shot at it anyway.

He's been a reserve driver for far too longHopefully this is the beginning of the end for Latifi
According to the Sporting Regulations, not quite:OK, so I'm now 99% sure the penalties are applied in order of severity, and if anyone has the same, THEN it's on quali order.
Grid position penalties are applied in qualifying order, and the grid reestablished. Then "start from the back" penalties for excess engine component/restricted component use are applied in qualifying order.c) Once the grid has been established in accordance with Article 42.3a), Article
42.3b), and Article 42.3c), grid position penalties will be applied to the drivers in
question.
i) The driver with the higher classification from the qualifying practice session
will have precedence.
d) Once the grid has been established in accordance with Article 42.3a), 42.3b) and
42.3c), grid penalties for any driver required to start the race from the back of the
grid after incurring a penalty under Article 28.3 will be applied.
i) If more than one (1) driver is required to start the race from the back of the
grid they will be arranged in qualifying order.
e) Any driver who incurs a penalty in accordance with Article 28.3 or Article 29 will
take precedence over any driver whose qualifying practice times have been
deleted for any reason.
Some are saying Masi introduced a directive in 2020 that penalties have to be served in full no matter what but I have no idea how that would still be valid now, especially since it wasn't applied in Spa.According to the Sporting Regulations, not quite:
Grid position penalties are applied in qualifying order, and the grid reestablished. Then "start from the back" penalties for excess engine component/restricted component use are applied in qualifying order.
I've quickly compiled a qualifying order and there's only one transposition (Latifi/Ocon) compared to yours which might be because I was doing it quickly. However the BBC's grid is wildly different (Verstappen in 7th? Perez in 13th?) and F1 hasn't confirmed the grid yet.
That's definitely not how it got done previously thoughWithout reading through the rules, I find it pretty easy to figure out.
All penalties are applied first, then the grid is filled up.

Not only that, it's not what the rules say. If following the rules results in a different answer than the real one arrived at through:That's definitely not how it got done previously though
Then there's something ****y.Without reading through the rules
