That’s called a racing incident.

Exactly my thoughts.

I get the penalty for Hamilton but hitting another car which then takes them out and it’s all good? That’s BS that.

Anyone know if there's a precedent for penalising the same incident twice, with the same penalty? Smells a bit fishy and looks like it'll result in a race ban?

10 seconds only? They should have gone for worse if they wanted to stop him from winning.

This race aside... Does that mean some sort of race ban or something for Hamilton due to the number of penalties this year?
Wait until they give him 2X2 penalty points.

...for something that might not be even in the rules?
Not for nothing, Rosberg's Championship is the only thing that lends credibility to Hamilton's recent success. Otherwise, he'd just be the guy who's had the best car. — bhall II

He broke the same rule twice. So got the same penalty twice.

Stupid decision to do those starts there, but if there’s a chance to whack on as many penalties as possible..... Anything for the show!

Sounds like Hamilton is leading the pit wall again.

Team advised Lewis it was ok, so surprising that the team didn't know much the pit lane being closed in Monza.

Ah thanks, following text coverage online so didn't realise it was two separate incidents.

Hamilton asked to pit. He says no then sets the fastest lap twice in a row.

Given they also told him it was ok to do the practice starts they need a bit of a wake up this weekend.
