No punishment for Lewis, Sebastian has had his penalty overturned.
No penalty for Lewis Hamilton
Lewis Hamilton will not receive any penalty for his handling of the second safety car period in last week's Japanese Grand Prix.
Sebastian Vettel's ten place grid penalty for colliding with Mark Webber during the same caution has also been annulled.
A statement from the stewards said that punishments would be inappropriate given the extremely wet conditions at Fuji.
Both Vettel and Mark Webber had suggested that Hamilton had been accelerating and braking unpredictably while following the safety car at Fuji, causing confusion for the drivers behind.
Vettel eventually ran into the back of Webber, taking them both out of the race and leaving Webber furious and Vettel distraught.
The officials initially held Vettel entirely responsible and announced that he would drop ten places on the Shanghai grid.
But in China Toro Rosso approached the stewards with new video evidence that it felt exonerated the young German and showed that he had been caught out by Hamilton slowing abruptly.
The FIA then confirmed yesterday morning that it was looking into the incident again, prompting 24 hours of speculation about a possible penalty for Hamilton.
The championship leader was dismayed by the latest controversy and the prospect of being penalised when on the brink of clinching the title.
"It looks like this weekend I'm probably going to given a penalty and I think it's just a shame for the sport," Hamilton said earlier today.
"If this is the way it's going to keep going then it's probably not somewhere that I want to be."
But after Webber, Hamilton and Vettel were all called to see the stewards at Shanghai this afternoon, it was announced that no punishments would be applied.
