Wow common sense prevailed. It would have been stupid to give a grid penalty to Russell for his team's infraction

F1 is a team sport. You can never penalize only the team or only the driver. By your logic, not the team should be penalized, but the engineer who made the mistake.

You can never penalize only the team or only the driver.

Isn't this very penalty proving that statement wrong. Team received a pen and the driver faced no consequences

That's not a penalty, that's a price attached to gaining a sporting advantage.

And do tell what sporting advantage did merc gain by this¿?

Neither piastri nor Russell were first in line. There were a bunch of cars ahead of them. So no advantage as merc didn't get any clean air so to speak
