My point was they should not pretend their doing something about it. Either give them real penalties or let them be.

Exactly. A reprimand means nothing, so they should give some kind of warning which has some meaning and will lead to an automatic consequence if the the action is repeated.

The other point is that I think they are risking too much by allowing this in the pitlane. Basically, the drivers can get away with doing things in the pitlane that they wouldn't be able to do under a yellow flag.

In this particular case, I don't think McLaren could have avoided the situation as the reaction time is so short, and both drivers were thankfully challenging in a fair and safe way, but imagine the same thing with any combination of Schumacher, Vettel and Kobayashi.
