What a terrible way to end the race. A phantom caution for no reason other than to bunch the pack/create drama and then a terrible call for “avoidable contact” when there was no contact.

They use the same pit crew so why not split the 10 place grid penalty 50:50 between both drivers? That is a full team penalty but is less harsh on an individual driver.
