Please take some time and make us laugh while trying to explain how not slowing down during double waived yellows is not worth a penalty.

Well, first off, there was miscommunication between the marshalls and the FIA. The marshalls were waving double yellows, but the safety light was showing green, which means that on Lewis' dashboard on the steering wheel, it would have also shown green, so why would he slow down then? It's anyway easier, from the driver cockpit, to see the big honking green light than those dinky yellow flags. On top of that, the car was removed, there was no debris, not even a marshall in sight, and hence the green. This is a stupid and bogus penalty and thoroughly undeserved.
