At least a penalty can be appealed if it is only levied at the next race, can't say I am a fan of carry over penalties either.
To be fair, I thought the stewarding was way better this year than it has been for a number of years. Possibly because of the better video review systems available to the stewards.
I do think Maldonado and Rogro got the rough end of the stick though!
All stewards decision should be followed by a written statement detailing the factors that lead to the decision, so that the reasoning is clear to everyone!
Clearly doesn't rate highly amongst our tenths fellows ...
