ROFLMAO

Looks like the FIA or someone is determined to reduce Hamilton's chances at the championship.

I must say these last few months have been nothing less than a circus.

I hope this doesn't happen too often in the future.

No penalty for Hamilton, only a small-change fine and the loss of that tyre set.
