Whether it's in the rule books or not, it's a sackless way of officiating. Their decision not to immediately make Verstappen give up the spot* changed the outcome of the race.
* Remeber the Laguna Seca ALMS race between the Corvette of Jan Magnussen and the Flying Lizard of Jorg Bergmeister? ALMS was able to swiftly instruct the Corvette to concede the pit-exit pass on the 911, thereby allowing both to race to the finish just 2 laps later. If the so-junior-league-that-they're-no-longer-in-business ALMS could figure that out within half-a-lap, you'd think the guys running the pinnacle of Motorsport could do the same.
