yeah, but what gets me is that it was originally only a 40 sec. penalty, but the stewards increased it to 5 minutes (which is huge, even severe penalties usually dont go over 2 minutes) over the "outside help" issue, which itself is even very debatable and controversial since the team didnt ask for help, and they cant exactly fight all the fans off if they start pushing.

Solberg was able to push the car up the ramp, but instantly racked up a 40 second penalty for arriving at the time control four minutes late. After further deliberation by the stewards, he was handed an additional five-minute penalty for receiving outside assistance in getting the car to the control checkpoint, despite Solberg and co-driver Phil Mills not having asked for the extra help.
the clips of mills and solberg grimacing in pain as they pushed the car up the ramp were pretty inspiring. its a shame they got penalized so severely for it.
