I reckon he was there and Nico chopped him off.
Can we ever have a racing incident: no penalty ?

Well, under RRS as they had both retired, they couldn't be penalised more unless it was DNE. 

I would think that no penalty collisions are easier to live with when sponsors pay.

I think there's much more of an acceptance in motor racing that damage is inevitable. If you high-side off a bike, which is equivalent of capsize really, it's pretty much inevitable you'll have a substantial repair bill, so I think it's kinda business as usual.

If we ever wanted radically simplified racing rules I think the price would be a concept of racing incident, a lot more collisions, and a lot more exclusions in the insurance terms. Probably wouldn't be able to insure racing at all, or only with huge excesses.

Don't think it's much to do with sponsors, same rules for amateur motor racing I think.

Care to give a link to what the hell you're talking about?

And yes, see Case 77

Not to mention incidents where there is no protest, hence no hearing, hence no penalty.

Split second decisions at speeds faster than almost all of us have ever driven. Surprising anyone finishes.

Lewis was committed, Rosberg knew he was coming and would have known he had a big speed advantage. Just my 2p.....

Weight equalisation/ success balast effectively creating personal handicap is already wide spread in motorsport....
