So what would be the solution?
In the hypothetical I presented, or the examples you refer to, how and when should the penalty be determined and applied?
In nearly all other sports, any penalty is able to be overcome with sufficient performance. Why should F1 be different?
For example, in football a player knows that if they commit a foul when a player is through on goal, they are sent off. The advantage has been gained by preventing a goal scoring opportunity, and the team can overcome the penalty by outperforming their opponent.
