Points change after penalties for Stroll, Raikkonen
Arguably the Stroll/Gasly swap of places was justified, because Stroll gained an unfair advantage on Gasly. But the Raikonnen penalty was/is ridiculous. Kimi got in trouble because he *didn't* overtake under yellow? He spun while behind the safety car, lost a couple spots in line, then didn't try to retake them while still under yellow, and that's what led to the penalty? Had he retaken his place in line (prior to the spin) he would have been OK? Seems like losing a couple spots would be penalty enough, no? What was he supposed to do (other than not spin)?

And did anything happen with the Bottas/Russell shunt? Or was that deemed to be just a racing incident?
