Baku had explicit 'Event rules' that are separate to each track, it was deemed more of an issue at that track so they clearly outlined another ruling for that weekend prior to the race.

Sebs making too many mistakes nowadays, these past two seasons have been riddled with errors which are costing him points. On the other hand Hamilton seems to have all but eliminated the silly errors. I used to rate them quite evenly with each having strengths and weaknesses but nowadays i find it pretty hard to argue a case for Vettel being on the same level.

Sometimes he is reminiscent of old Vettel - fine out in front when he qualifies P1 and has the fastest car, but when he comes under pressure he sometimes lets unforced errors creep in. Rosberg was the same.
He is a good driver, but he doesn't seem to handle the pressure as well as others.

Do you even read the posts in this thread? This has been repeatedly explained, even in posts you replied to.

Stig, if you aren't going to accept the valid replies just leave it... it's tiresome now.

Not sure why people still reply. All evidence is ignored by him.
Circumstances were different.
Kimi did it while racing Ricciardo so it was deemed to be dangerous and as such received a harsh penalty
Hamilton had to go off track first before rejoining, also note it was during the safely car and nobody was near him or even at racing speed.
Context is important.

Yup. When they had EXPRESSLY been told not to cross the white line on the pit entry, and yet Raikkonen still did it. IIRC the rule was, if all 4 wheels went to the left of the white line on pit entry, they HAD to enter the pit lane. He didn't. So yeah, penalty was correct.

yh he should have gotten reprimanded

i was talking about kimi
Would it make any difference if we referred you back to previous posts?
Absolutely not. Save your energy for a conversation worth having.
It's funny that the FIA manage to enforce rules on Hamilton that have never been enforced before. The other other 4 people who have been penalised were all for breaking a order in the Race Directors briefing. Hamilton did no such thing, but still, penalty.
Reminds me of the shambolic 2008 Spa Grand Prix where Hamilton apparently broke a rule that at that time didn't exist... Was only a 'gentlemens agreement'.
Strangely enough, next revision of the sporting regs, a new rule was added....

Thank goodness for the likes of max and Hamilton who push the boundaries.

The only shambolic thing about that race was that he wasn't penalised sooner.
The rule he broke was cutting a corner and gaining an advantage. He gained an obvious advantage - he put himself in a position to overtake Raikkonen at the next corner - that he allowed Kimi through by about a tenth before he dive-bombed up the inside didn't negate the advantage he gained by cutting the corner.
