Absolutely stupid penalty. Sometimes the stewards make such dumb decisions.

There should be some flexibility in the rules for situations like this. Yuki made the correct call.

Hell the rules allow for cars to overtake slow moving damaged cars even even when under red flag conditions.

That penalty is just stupid.

Oscar had massive damage [approaching] the last corner. I saw him in the back straight driving at 80kph, very, very slow, same as the pit lane speed [limit], spreading all over the debris, everywhere.

I would have been just as shocked, what was he supposed to do here?
