Serve a 5 second penalty! Oops! It should have been ten! Oh! Let's start again. You will serve a 10 second penalty.

At the very least it should have no more than a further 5 seconds, perhaps they all failed 'Simple Sums' at school.

Disgusted of Bedfordshire.
Thought we should record the decision for posterity and name and shame the genii who were responsible for the brilliance.

Herewith the quote from the steward's decision on the FIA website:

"NOTE: In accordance with Article 36.2 the penalty for this offence should have been a penalty under Article 38.3d. Instead a Drive Through penalty was incorrectly imposed when the penalty should have been a 10 second stop and go. Accordingly an
additional 10 second time penalty is imposed
