I remember DC was quite sharp on catching those penalties. He pointed out Heikki (?) overtook someone when Nick Heidfeld's exploded and overtook under yellow flag immediately, as well as Lewis's recovery.

It wasn't just the fact that he forced di Resta off the track. Spinning your car around in the middle of a narrow track directly INTO opposing traffic is incredibly dangerous. If di Resta hadn't been alert at that point, it could have been a really nasty accident.
If you see other incidents where people spin, they always wait for a break in opposing traffic before getting back on the track/spinning back around.
