The Rosberg penalty is an automatic one just like speeding in the pit lane. It doesn't matter if you cut the white line by 1cm or ignore it completely, it's a drive through. It's just unlucky that he got his drive through around the time a safety car came out. If he took his penalty early there would have been no problem.

The Webber / Raikonnen is a similar one and both should have got a penalty. Webber got one because he floored it when off track when he could have backed off slightly and followed behind Alonso. It's just unlucky he had to let 2 cars ahead because Alonso was overtaken.

The Sutil one is a bit odd as I would have expected a grid place drop, maybe they ruled it was a legitimate move just wrongly timed due to a blind spot? It's not like he drove forward, he just continued the spin.
