You say "Not making a place is a crucial difference, and it's the making a place or not loosing a place through cutting a corner that's punished", Hamilton gave the place back, so there for did not break any rules. If you can find a rule that states how far the driver has to be behind before making another pass then do so, if not then we are arguing over something you cant prove which is not in the rules.

You cant have it both ways, both Hamilton and Kimi made up time, by cutting out a corner, the difference is, Hamilton won a place and had to give it back which he did. The rules under what Hamilton has been punished mention nothing of the advnatge he might have made.
I'm not trying to have it both ways, I agree, as stated several times before, that the penalty is harsh, but I can see where the stewards are coming from, just about. I would have been more than happy for this to have been left alone. As for Kimi's moves, it might well ave been punished had he not crashed out, who knows.

I used to have these same discussions with avid Schumacher fans, the similarities are striking. Drivers of their ability and uncompromising desire to win at all costs are bound to cause controversy. Their similarities are striking.
