But... in the past, the FIA stewards have punished a team for unsafe release even when the driver was told to stop before rejoining the track... again another case of inconsistently stewardship.

Too true, the inconsistencies are quite annoying!! Here's the explanation given for Kimi's situation:

 wrote:">Ferrari and Raikkonen escape unsafe release penalty

...The stewards' statement said: "The team explained that the system used to monitor the pit stops gave no indication that the car was in an unsafe condition when released and the team caused the driver to stop the car immediately the problem was apparent from the driver and telemetry.

"The team had paid close attention to the telemetry after the actions of the team members involved in the pit stop and further that the FIA Technical Delegate accepted the car was not in an unsafe condition when released the stewards took no further action."
