The interview with Whitmarsh said that they couldn't prove they were lifting off because it was a breaking zone but they weren't given a proper penalty because they were slower on that lap.

Then the interview with Mark Blundell said that they were reprimanded for having faster sector times.

I am confuse.

Im surprised they didn't get penalties,. Jb set his fastest lap time and even more importantly sector time on that lap.

Of course they didn't go slower, fastest sector time of anyone at all in a yellow zone. Fia don't need evidence and usually gives out penalties on much weaker evidence.

And that doesn't make any sense anyway. Just because it's in a braking spot makes no odds. You break earlier and/or harder. Or ease of the gas earlier before the break point. These things are we sores unto the max. The fia just let them off.

Race - Vettel holds off Hamilton for tense Spanish win
There may not have been as much overtaking as we saw in Turkey, but Lewis Hamilton made it a gripping Barcelona race on Sunday as he hounded Sebastian Vettel from the 20th to the 66th and final lap. The reigning world champion had to work every inch of the way as he took his fourth victory of the season for Red Bull, and the two drivers were separated by a mere 0.6s after more than 300 kilometres of flat-out racing.
