As I mentioned above the rollover penalty was abolished part-way through last season.

If they could use 3 million different engines in FP1, FP2 and FP3 this weekend it would still only result in starting last at this event and only this event.

Indeed. Sadly, McLaren Honda did indeed still burn through nearly 3 million different engines anyway :D

Will we? Maybe up to a point.

The Merc. suffers following others, and LH is know for getting easily frustrated when being stuck behind slower cars. Once/if he reaches the likes of TR, FI or Williams he'll find it tough unless Merc. have made some serious gains again during the "break".

We have seen Hamilton overtake plenty in the past. All he needs is damage limitation and a little bit of luck. Hopefully this will be his only penalty.

They will set the car up more for overtaking I think. At other races were it suffered following other cars it was setup to lead with more down force.

I think up to a point most cars wont even bother fighting him. However once he reaches the FI's/TR's and Williams of the world he may have more of a challenge. As you can guarantee the Williams will be in drag strip mode!

Pretty much this. And once he's close enough to these - barring the mentally fast in straight line Williams - its just follow, DRS attempt until past, next car.
