For the benefit of Sprinkles....it’s not nothing, and is on page 24 of the regs if you want to brush up on it

I’m happy to concede Hamilton did something wrong if the stewards deem him to have broken a rule....it was clumsy driving nevertheless

Rule 29.1 is in regards to drivers skipping the weighing procedure and driving past through to the team's garage. It states that if you miss the FIA garage you will be instructed to go back to the FIA garage. Vettel absolutely did not miss the garage and did not violate 29.1.

I'm reading the same regulations as you (funny note, the title of the PDF is Draft 1999 Sporting Regulations. Could do with an update) and I'm not seeing anything about switching the engine off, or not being allowed to drive off the weighbridge in these, as I said.

Probably get pinged for hitting the cone and being disrespectful to stewards. That's pretty normal in most sports.
