Alonso was just behind Hamilton, Ham overtook the SC against the rules and he had to stay behind. Kobayashi and Kilte's track design ensured Ham got a huge advantage so that after the stewards discussing 20 laps about his punishment he would still lose no place at all. In fact both Ferrari drivers had their races damaged after the SC. Shit, nine drivers or so went overboard to get advantage from the SC and in the end they got only a 5 second penalty. Were the fuck was that 5-second penalty when Schumi overtook Alonso for sixth over a poorly written rule and got his ass banished to twelfth or so? |
the FIA had to make sure that he was in the wrong, if you watch the replays its very close, and when they saw he did, they punished him.
the 5 second penalty rather than something more is probably because it was a more minor infringment.
