I think it falls in between the 10 second stop / go that he received...

and a black flag.

But for Hamilton having the issue with his safety gear, I don't think there would have been further intervention.

It's the influence of the latter element that I think is harsh. Had the stewards strapped on a pair and disqualified him during the race then fair enough.

Also, surely it was "track rage"?
