I also have nothing against Ricciardo. I don’t think he was trying to be dangerous or reckless, but rather he was the unfortunate soul who inadvertently selected himself to be used as an example for others. It’s also unfortunate it was his home GP.
Let’s say they have decided to crack down on this. If they let Ricciardo slide on this one (popular with the crowd, etc), but then brought the hammer down on the next guy... everyone would point to the inconsistent application of the rules.

Just to add perspective, they threw the red flag to investigate a loose cable, there was no stricken car or marshalls on track.
