    He got a 5 sec penalty, but he overtook Leclerc early and had clear air in front of him and build up a nice gap (11 secs IIRC before the penalty was applied), so it didn’t have any effect on his race. It ended with a 1-2 finish for Red Bull and P2 for him.

      Sure it didn’t, but at one point he himself stated that it compromised his race. Made no sense to me.
