although at time we all think the stewards are all idiots, in this case i dont agree. If you look at the gap btwn LH and Kobayashi, think at the time it was about 15 sec, w/ everyone else very close behind. The drive through would take roughly 20 sec, meaning LH would have come out in 6-7 easily, all the commentators also thought that. BUT LH was told to push his car to the max and was able to make enough of a gap
as others have said, this wasnt the first time this has happened in F1, the only diff is the average person hates LH and thats why its a big deal
I dont see people complaining about the other drivers only getting 5 sec penalties when LH got closer to 20, he was just fast enough were it didnt bother him
