The stewards abit random. They often invent a new penalty just to drop said driver one place. If Kimi had been 3 seconds behind, they would invent a 2.5 second penalty.

I don't think thats fair, the penalties are prescribed, but they have the choice of several - equivalent to a drive through, stop and go or an exclusion, or a grid penalty at the next event (there might be others). The obvious would be a drive through, equivalent being about 25 secs added to finish time. They should have the option of simply reversing the positions, seeing as they can "suggest" that they do that in the course of a race to avoid a harsher penalty, they should be able to d it at the end also
