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.
