No penalties Hamilton and Vettel for collision in the Shanghai pit lane

The two young f1 drivers Lewis Hamilton and Sebastian Vettel have conventional official warning from FIA race stewards subsequent their impact in the Chinese GP pit lane on Sunday race. However, neither driver will hold a grid penalty keen on the future Spanish GP in three weeks' time. Following the pair had raced every other into the pit lane, Hamilton's McLaren then appeared from his box subsequent his stop and debatably into the path of the Red Bull Racing, resulting in contact among the two cars on their ways back out on the track.

But, a communication from Race Control which houses three time F1 podium winner Alex Wurz as a steward - confirms that no penalties have been give out.

Lewis Hamilton, as far as I'm worried, I thought it was okay. The team was waiting for quite some time and they waited until it was the right time; but as I came out I noticed Sebastian was there - he was pushing me a little bit to the right and we pushed wheels. Other than that, it was fair. Sebastian Vettel, at the stop, I was ahead and I don't know why he was keen to touch me; I hoped I hadn't suffered a puncture after that but don't really understand it because I was a bit ahead.
