“Firstly, I’m not too sure why we got a penalty because I was on the pit limiter before the line. I released it after the line. But clearly there’s a problem in the software and many drivers got penalties.
“Ok, five seconds, not ideal but not the end of the world. And then in the pit stop, just major confusion, and getting a drive-through (penalty) – the punishment doesn’t fit the crime. So, P3 down to P14.
“I just asked, ‘can we review it afterwards?’ Because I said, ‘if I serve the drive-through now, the race is done.’
“And I was willing to serve the five-second penalty on the following lap. I had a 20-second gap behind me to Gasly. I probably gained a tenth of a second through the pit lane with that software glitch, and ended up losing 12 positions because of it.
“(They said) the rules are the rules, if you don’t serve the penalty, it’s a drive through.
“I don’t really know what to say. It’s two races in a row – could have won the race last week, could have maybe been P3-P4 today, it’s 40 points down the drain for things outside of my control.”
