I just discovered Russell wasn't pinged for one track limits violation where he was 100% off, and he was less than 5s ahead of leclerc at the end. Leclerc told ferrari on the cool down to check every russell's lap because he was on a 3 strikes black & white flag already, but I guess they didn't do that.
It's possible he missed timing loop detection completely and got away with it. Silly fia & ferrari for missing this.

lap 46 while lapping lawson
It is in the off phase of the blink in that still, but there is a clear flashing blue flag light in that video, perhaps that is a factor, as in you are being impeded by a guy you are not racing. A somewhat bit far fetched theory, though.
This can't even be considered a violation!
Russell went far off the track losing time, not gaining! The track limits violations had mainly to do with Turns 12-13! So I don't see the point of the FIA looking into it really...
It's as if giving Alonso a penalty for track limits for going off track at Turn 2
Did you watch race weekend at all? There were track limits on all parts of the track, not just T12-13. Many laps were deleted in T5 and lando lost his quali lap from this corner where russell went off unpunished.
On top of that FIA didnt care whether you lost time or not, except in cases like alonso's complete off track excursion. Russell got a third strike and B&W flag when he went off on lap 55 in turn 4 when attempting fastest lap. He lost time but it didn't matter.

So he clearly dodged a bullet.
