stop whining about the stewards and salo, they only did what they hired to do. make sure the rules are followed.
they could indeed have given him a reprimand the first time, but they could just as well have given him a 5 place penalty. that would have cost him a lot more time.
as i said, the only one to blame is the guy who told lewis to do his practice starts in a place where it's not allowed.
its just as ridiculous that you have to go all the way around in turn 2 if they go even the tiniest bit off track. but that's the rules, you know them beforehand.
