100%, no reason this should have been a post race penalty if it's going to be a time penalty.

    They literally explain why they had to wait in the text.

    I realise that, but I don't see what footage they wouldn't have been able to get after the race that they couldn't get during the race. Or do they not have access to all the onboard cameras on the cars during the race? That would explain it but I'd be surprised if that were the case.

    I agree, I was merely pointing out that it seems to be a reason - which I also find surprising, but we also have to remember that they have a race still going on with around 20 cars to monitor. It makes sense to delay some decisions if deemed appropriate.

    I’m mainly bothered by lots of comments and opinions - including prominent media/youtube - which don’t even look really into the decision making for each penalty and just care to ramp up the noise picturing things as controversial.
