Penalties are not handed out based on anything to do with where you are on track, you brake X rule you get X penalty depending on how severe it was, where the driver is on track is NOT a factor in what penalty is given to the driver. Doing so removes impartiality on the part of those handing out the penalties.

You can say the penalty wasn't severe enough but don't propose that they consider that it didn't drop him a place and instead hand him a more severe penalty.

And not one bothers to consider either that he would be in contention for first place for half the race had he not gotten the penalty, so consider that rather then "he went second to second" instead of having blinders on and not seeing the whole picture.
