Russell -No penalty as no sporting advantage was gained.Stewards accept the reasoning for the DRS opening was accidental, gaining him 0.02s on the straight and that he gave up 0.28s at the next corner
Probably so he had the process worked out and ready in case he needed it later in the race rather than them trying to explain it in the moment.
