I think the issue they may have been concerned about was the possible ramifactions of enforcing track limits at that corner over a race distance.
Lets say Hamilton was on his last warning (black/white flag?), defending hard in the closing laps, worn tyres sliding all over the place, and by an inch, went outside the white line with all four wheels. The stewards would be forced to issue a penalty of some sort, handing the race to Max without a pass being completed. Everyone would have been up in arms about how the stewards are ruining racing!That's not an excuse for this mess - they should have thought this through more and the track should be adjusted to prevent this - but just an explanation of how I think we may have got where we are.

I agree - unless a safety issue develops during the weekend (curbs breaking suspension for e.g.) then have one set of regs and stick to them. Moving the goalposts through the weekend is silly, and introduces a random variable that makes a mockery of the racing skill and technology combination of F1.
