I understand that avoidable contact under yellow requiring a more stiff penalty, but 7 minutes vs 30 seconds for what IMO is a largely similar offense?

I think it's not just the officials on the stewards' panel that's gone batty since Spa...

What the Manor did was actually under red for people over the guard rail. I would say this is worse than doing this during green. The Manor situation lead even to a crash. I welcome officials enforcing flag rules and track limits in the WEC. Especially when looking at other series.
