The question is why wasn't Hamilton given a penalty. It was quite laughable at the time to watch replays regarding Nicco Rosberg being under investigation for being about 1m of track because another car hit him.
In the same shots Hamilton can be seen missing two courners going straight over the grass and getting a massive visual gap of the field. It was likely at least a free 2s if the VSC and SC had not come out.
There appears to be a great willingness to give Nicco Rosberg penalties.
