The penalty applied for this kind of incident is a drive through which is served in the current race. If this had happened at the start they should both had one during the race itself. |
Its a stupid rule as it happens at least once in every race, which results no penalty IF the car that took the advantage gave it back, like Hamilton did. There is no two ways about it, the stewards were wrong and are now making rules up for some.
Ive still had no answer about where it states in the rules how far behind you have to be before you can try to overtake again nor have I had an answer of how being side by side (even ahead at one point) going into the corner, then being behind the car that he was side by side off is gaining an advantage. The advantage was he got past Kimi by cutting the corner, the advantage was given back when he let Kimi back past, end off, Id go as far to say that Hamilton came of worse by letting Kimi back infron due to the fact they were side by side going into the corner.
