Sorry but I'm not saying that Hamilton shouldnt have got the penalty, he should.
The thing is that Kimi was 20 or more points behind Alonso in the WDC that year and if they had penalized Kimi the championship had been decided almost in that race(with 4 races remaining) although finally Kimi only got 4th in that race. But he should have got the penalty.
In Hungary Michael was 10 points behind Alonso and he wasn't penalized either. And IIRC he got 1 point at the end. But he should have been penalized.
I think FIA put some penalties depending on the WDC Table to try to get maximum audience in the final races.
I think marc that you should be a little bit less biased and try to defend Hamilton objectively.
