Yeah official now, no penalty. Result stands.

Twitter is first
It’s odd though. It happened 14 or so laps before the end and not once did an investigation message come up in that time. Plus it’s one of those things where he broke a rule or he didn’t isn’t it?? (And there is footage and audio) Unless they were waiting to talk to him about it? But what difference would that make??

So, where does the pitlane officially start then, the speed limit line? or can you just drive across the grass whenever you want now in F1?

Nothing official yet, news only coming from Lewis's comments when he came out of stewards office.

Official from FIA - reprimand only.

Given a reprimand. That's seems appropriate.

Lots of tears in this thread today. It really has all become quite pathetic. Vettel again throwing away what should be an easy championship.

Bottas would not have wanted to inherit the win due to that anyway.

Another FIA(L) from the Stewards and their inconsistent penalties.
Wasn’t that for a race that had a specific rule regarding pit lane entry due to the pit lane entry being dangerous/high speed though?
Well he wasn't allowed to get it on track so who knows.
F1 is such that it's more about being in the right place at the right time (best car) and being assigned as the number one driver. Hamilton is undoubtedly a great all-round racer, Vettel is good at driving fast on a dry empty track. Alonso despite driving dog cars for about 10 years is also extremely talented. I think Alonso's problem is that he isn't driven by success/trophies and is happy to exercise his talent in cars that won't win him races, it's a bit of a shame really but also a reflection on how flawed F1 is as a driver championship.

If that is a jab at team orders then why are you not jabbing Ferrari for the same?
It's not a jab at team orders, I'm simply replying to your comment that he went for #1 on the track and was told to back off, maybe he would have accepted it under those circumstances.
