The times cannot be fair since they didn't drive the stage Giving them time that jumps 3 drives who drove trough the hard stage is not really fair to those 3 drivers either is it?

Evan's time is the best possible time they can get. Sordo is the worst one, anything between is compromise.

What cannot be allowed to continue is the current inconsistent, arbitrary system, which is vulnerable to corruption and favoritism.

Would be most fair yes, but there is no clear rule atm afaik.
