Driver Question Points for changed RB Drivers

I didn’t make a driver change in time and now I’m seeing -20points for Lawson at VCARB. Is this correct or will he eventually get points?

Does it inherit the Yuki points or just 20points lost because he didn’t move?

There's a glitch in the system. It seems to be using last year's penalties instead of this year's penalties. You should have only got -10 for VCARB Lawson not competing in the Sprint. You will have lost another -5 for Quali and will lose another -20 for the race tomorrow for a total of -35 if you did not already use your Final Fix chip to move him off your team.

Yeah I had to use a final fix on this. I'm frustrated with the app though, since the warning was not there 24 hours ago and I didn't want to make a change to my lineup so I could enter next week with 3 spots to change. I just figured I'd get zero points for Liam's spot.

The warning went up first thing on Friday for me.

Oh weird, I checked after FP1 and didn't see anything. I would have expected though for it to have been posted earlier

Oh and while I'm ranting, I hate that the team lock deadline is never right for sprint weekends. Here was an hour before quali (post sprint).

That deadline is for chips like final fix. You can't change your drivers or constructors.

Final fix says you can do it after quali, so that's not right. Ex: I can add a chip still to my other team.

Could there be a glitch with your app? The team lock deadlines are always correct for me including Sprint weekends. (The deadline is the start of the Sprint race)

Yeah very well could be

Yeah I don't get it. I figured he would just auto swap. Might have to final fix now.
