Going off the track and gaining a place is a 5 second penalty.
Hamilton cut the corner, gained a place but did not get a penalty.
Thus, the rules were not followed.

I can agree with the decision not to give a penalty, but it was once again "ŕ la tęte du client" stewarding. But it's been like that all year now.
