If that was really the case, that Alonso's erratic driving had no effect on what happened to Russell, the the team would have had a very good case to appeal the Stewards' decision. The very fact that they have accepted the penalty, the 20 seconds might have been acceptable but Alonso also lost two places because of it which may very well have a financial bearing at the end of the season.
