I think the drive thru penalty was very harsh
We have seen many times, cars spin round on the spot very close to other cars with no contact and no penalty.
Di Resta said he saw Lewis as he came into the first chicane, so he knew he was there all the time.
When you watch DIR come out of the 2nd chicane he is already going onto the kerb to miss Lewis as he was sat across the track, as lewis spins round DIR makes quite a sharp jinx to the outside, but he still had enough room from the angle I saw to have gone through on his intended line. I think he jinxed right as a reflex action because he suddenly saw Lewis spin as he was going past him and though they were going to hit.
In my opinion, last week, Buemi unwittingly or otherwise forced Heidfeld off the track by running him off the track, but in this instance Lewis did not block off any more of the track and never made contact.
Another thought that I had was would the stewards have done anything if DC (Red Bull advisor) had not said anything.
