Moffat's party was in the Mercure hotel, and didn't start until quite late in the evening, so websites that post photos of people tidying their garages out of context probably have their own agenda.

Colin was never going to get the same penalty as Ash received at Silverstone. It was Colin's first offence while it was Ash's third. The level of punishment goes up the more often you have to climb the naughty steps at the front of the bus.
Yes, this was all utterly bananas. Goodness only knows why some folks thought he would get the same penalty as Sutton did at Silverstone. He was penalised as per the rules, the same penalty that Ash had already received early in the season for his first infraction. It was quite clear.
