Effectively the revised finishing postions would then have been known by the time the podium presentations were happenning. It seems just wrong that it can be announced a couple of hours later since drive throughs are an instant type of penalty.

I absolutely wholeheartedly agree.

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.

It does not. Like all F1 rules it's open to interpretation.
I think he is in a much better position for the pass in the next corner then he would have been had he not cut the chicane in the manner he did.
The stewards were obviously of the opinion that he did not fully negate the advantage gained, maybe he didn't give it up as soon and as decisively as he should.
On his acceleration after the corner it does not sound like he is lifting at all, I don't know what you think it sounds like, but to me it doesn't sound like someone letting another car through. (the second clip linked to previously).
There is obviously differences of opinions influenced by various allegiances and preconceptions floating around.
