Got examples of these other teams doing same?It's no different to what other teams have done since this rule was introduced. Of course, as it involves Hamilton I'm sure you're all for him being disqualified from the championship for it etc.
Closest thing coming even close that I can remember is Alonso's 35 place penalty at Spa, but it was actually from taking fresh (over limit) engine for 1st practice, which lasted whooping 3 laps before it broke and they had to get another new set
