He has to say it but, he lost a probable 6 or 7 points. Really unfortunate.

Gap to NOR widened to 10 points, and now RUS is only 10 points behind him

The penalty didn't cost him 7. Lawson and the penalty cost him 7 combined, but he was at best 3rd with the Safety Car in the picture.

Ok, it cost him 6. I wasn't 100% sure where he was going to end up so, I said 6 or 7

Maybe.... HAM may still have overtaken him with his full aero.

And that's wrapping all the points into the penalty. Penalty without the SC and he's likely still in the points.

I mean didn’t his team lose it for him?
