Once again, the FIA and stewards don't help the situation with how they worded it. Shouldn't have introduced that doubt with the consistency statement. If he's broken a rule then just say that - don't be all like "well, others got a penalty..so I guess he should!"

The issue is that other drivers have been penilised for the same incident in the past. If they hadn’t penilised Vettel then what message would that send out??
If the drivers have an issue with the rules then they have the GPDA in which they can voice their opinions to make a change, and despite it occurif before non of them has done so (to my knowledge)
