There is no consistency because the penalties are to different entities.
One penalty is to a competitor and the most effective penalty is time.
The other is to a manufacturer who can not receive a time penalty as they are not competing directly.
How would a competitor deal with a €30.000 fine? Who would you apply a 25 minute penalty to if it was given to M-Sport. Would you penalise all M-Sport competitors by dividing 25 minutes among them?

First of all thanks to Bluuford for his excellent weather report.
Had a nice event, pitty there was so much rain on wednesday, thursday and friday morning. It made some access roads very slippery, like ice, so more difficult to get to the stages (and to some nice places) on friday. Anyway, having no dust is nice for spectating. Tarmac action on saturday and sunday was great, everything was new for me but we found some great places. Sports-wise it was a great event, very nice agressive driving from Sordo, while Ogier was much cleaner, cutting less on most places we've seen, somehow his approach paid off. Latvala's driving was quite similar on the places we've seen. I think there are many corners that would be just as fast without cutting. All Hyundai's were doing well, but I was surprised most by Hayden Paddon, he made great progress on tarmac, I think it's fair to say he is a "complete" WRC driver now. With the driver line-up Hyundai will have next year they are a great competitor against VW for the manufacturer championship. WRC2 was a bit disappointing apart from the 2 works Skoda's. Suninen was extremely spectacular to see, pushing the car to the limit which wasn't always very efficient as he usually didn't have the quickest exit out of the corners. In FWD great action on tarmac, especially from the Fiesta R2T's, and Solans in particular. I'd like to see this become a full tarmac event again, it would be much more interesting for local drivers and for the lower categories than WRC/RC1.
