You either apply the rule of law or you don't. He either overtook him and broke the rule or he didn't.
What next? He was only 1km over the limit in the pit lane?

I’m willing to bet there are literally dozens of examples of cars being ahead by 2 inches on a formation lap or behind SC without penalty.
It’s a complete non issue.

It's a bizarre sport where you make up the rules as you go.
It's more like sports entertainment, WWE style.

Not really. Not unless you think every sport is WWE. NHL, NFL, MLB and NBA have no consistency in their calls from play to play, game to game, season to season.
They are judgement calls, it happens.
Releasing the other 10 lapped cars makes no difference, it shouldn’t matter at all.
I take that back. You know who should be protesting? The 5 drivers who unlapped themselves and the other three who weren’t allowed to.
The decision didn’t allow drivers to fight for position on the last lap the way max was allowed. That could have major consequences to the drivers and constructors positions in the championship.
This whole SC thing was karma for Toto trying to influence safety decisions and campaigning for no SC. That’s scummy.
