2) I totally agree, that was a terrible call, IMO
3) Mark didn't get a grid pen for the lift back. He got the penalty for a 3rd reprimand. Alonso got a (first) reprimand, but no grid penalty.

Regardless of whether it was the first or third reprimand such activity has been done before with no penalty.
If there is a rule about it then a warning followed by a fine but to disadvantage a driver for a non competitive offence with a penalty that affects the grid (competition) is pure *********. It is just wrong, judicially and in terms of sporting fairness.
Its rubbish.
