Extrapolating that out, it would have added about 23 seconds onto his time (23.2 if exactly 0.4s per lap). This would have given his final time 47.7s behind Rosberg, and slotted him into 6th place, just ahead of Nico Hulkenberg and just behind Valtteri Bottas. Assuming all things went the same. Should have just played by the rules, because that would have been 8 points... instead of 0.
