He picked up a reprimand, same as Webber.

As the sportings regs say, (I'm paraphrasing slightly) when a penalty has to be applied and two of the three reprimands are for driving conduct (in Webbers case for collision and not slowing down under yellows) then a grid penalty is applied.

All seems like the regs have been followed in this case.
  • Two drivers muck about on track, both get a reprimand, because one driver already has 2 reprimands this triggers a penalty and because the 2 other reprimands are for driving standards he gets a grid place drop.
Doesn't sound so "controversial" now, does it?
