    The team confirmed in the hearing that the driver had been advised to bring the car back to the pits as they were trying to avoid a Safety Car situation.

    Seems unfair for Checo to get a 3 place grid drop in this case.

    The Stewards determine that, as well as a financial penalty for the team, a sporting penalty is necessary due to the safety implications of the incident. The penalty is imposed in line with precedents.

    Sure, I guess… Still harsh.

      It hurts the team in that there’s less chance of them picking up as many points in the next race.
