But, Greem, none of that applied in this case. And what's happened to common sense?

And instead of Hartley retaking his position in the snake by some arbitrary point, he went to his correct position on the grid in readiness for the start of the race. Rules and regulations are supposed to be in place to stop competitors taking unfair advantage of situations, as you state above, but that clearly wasn't the case here. Here there were two different teams with two different power sources.

If common sense was allowed to prevail then only Perez should have been given a metaphorical slap for being stupid for not letting Hartley get by. And that should have been the end of it, in my simple mind. Instead, they've made a mountain out of a molehill.
