if the driver didn't gain anything, thus they don't give out any penalty.

I get that but all we have do is look at the penalty they gave Vettel for intentionally running into Hamilton that should have been significant enough to keep him out of the points if not a dq. He only got five more seconds than Max and his actions were deplorable no matter how you slice it or spit hairs.

The reason because it's a Ferrari. F1 is highly political sport dictated by powerful car manufacturers. Let say it was Daniel Kyvat did than on Hamilton, instantly he would possibly get the DQ or ban.

Oddly enough most of the FIA appointed drivers stewards are British or French with no association to Ferrari (apart from Brawn, although he is not a race steward). Matter of fact most of them have closer ties to Renault and Lotus than they do Ferrari. So it's actually more surprising that Ferrari ever gets any slack.

It was deplorable, but it was either a black flag or marginally punishable. Considering he wasn't going to get black flagged (he didn't cause any real damage or put someone's life in danger), giving a 10 second stop n' go was actually a worthy punishment. Only shame there was Mercedes also made a boneheaded mistake with Hamilton's car thus costing him the win.

The two instances and penalties are nothing alike. Had max had 5-10 more laps, it's arguable he would have put 5 seconds between him and Kimi and possibly caught Vettel.

Hell if FIA actually stood for Ferrari Internationale Associazione they would have given Hamilton a DQ for "braking checking" Vettel lol. And would've given Verstappen a 5 place grid penalty
