As Toto Wolff said, "No one will ever be 100% correct...." (speaking of the stewards)

Also, and I can't remember exactly what Wolff said in reply to the main commentator, but he handed him his ass.
What we got from Toto was "virtue signaling". "It's only RIGHT". Mercedes lobbied for the penalty and got rewarded for their efforts.
It would have been the height of hypocrisy to then mollify the decision.
