Any other series that's a racing incident but the stewards decided Vettel should not have been in that position. They clearly stated in the penalty release that Vettel was in a non-racing position which is bs. Basically they wanted a penalty given and made something up. Same as later penalties for avoiding increasing the damage by leaving the track. No positions were gained but something close to half the field was cautioned apparently. Sorry but a car spinning means every driver is leaving the track to avoid, they need to pack it up as stewards of they don't understand that.
Plus the track is TERRIBLE for racing, the support races were ridiculous

Agreed - there's no such thing as a non-racing position on lap 1, turn 1. That's where impossible moves are all legit and can be done. It's not like he did a Grosjean and barreled into the back of another car.
