A drive through in any normal race should would set a driver back a couple of grid spots, not 6 !!! This is very lame... The penalty should be 1 grid spot, putting him back to 7th since there were green flags...
As for Rubens, if Karun or Bruno had crashed because of his steering wheel, he would have been excluded from the championship... Just because no one got hurt does not mean he should escape with no penalty... he should at least get a 10 grid penalty for the next race and $100K fine and that is being leniant for the dangerous situation he caused with his childish actions...
Really at the end, DAMON HILL IS A FUCKIN IDIOT and has no business being in the stewards room...

its hard to agree with you when you determined the penalty towards MS is Damon Hill's sole decision. Keep in mind ex-drivers joined the stewards to give their opinion, but I believe its still down to the FIA stewards to make the final decision.
I believe the penalty will still be given with or without Damon Hill or ANY driver.
Read the statement issued by the FIA, its not just signed by Damon Hill! The racing stewards consists of at least 3 other FIA personnel to decide a penalty. and this time Damon took the blame for everyone else, including the mistakes from race control and Monaco marshalls....
