Does the rule say that you have to give back the place or the advantage gained?

If it is the latter, or is judged to mean the latter, then giving back the place is not enough.

Consider, if Hamilton had braked hard enough to avoid driving into the back of the car in front, then he might have come to a dead stop.

So by the end of the corner, he would have been many yards behind. As it was, he had to brake to avoid running into the back of the Ferrari as he was going so fast and on a better line for the entry to the next corner.

Thus the 'next corner' solution works where corners come in quick succession, whereas it is obviously equally problematic if the offence occurs at the beginning of a long straight and the next corner is some 200 mph away.

This is an argument like the 'must give way' requirement for a vehicle overtaking. It means, as far as I can see that you must leave 4 foot of room for the kart to be on the track, but others interpret it as a right to the racing line on the run out.

But we aren't going to get the reasons for the decision anyway, since everything gets filtered through the media's chosen bias.
