As I mentioned yesterday, every driver does that when they suspect they will serve a drive-through penalty. Mark Webber in Nurburgring last year, and Nico Rosberg in Singapore 2008. They both make up enough time not to lose track position or minimize the track position lost while serving the penalty.
Alonso blamed the FIA "manipulated" the race result. There's no way in hell I will agree! If the Stewards looked at the time gap for LH and cars behind, then decide what kind of penalty to drop him 4-5 grid spots....then THIS IS MANIPULATING THE RESULT!!!! You cannot adjust the penalty to make others feel more "fair".

You got to handed to LH, a little bit of a rogue racer but he was able to closed that gap in such that he did not lose any position. Outstanding driving when you see that he was closing more gap with SV at the end.
