I have just watched an incident in Formula E where one car was released from its pit and was blocked by the team's other car coming in to the same pit area. it affected both cars and the team overall.

So why did the stewards then give one car a penalty? No other team was involved and the team it related to had shot themselves in the foot with both cars anyway.
