The US broadcasters had the "no penalty" pegged when they said that the stewards had not enforced it on other cars further back in the race and therefore would not have grounds to enforce it at the front. It has to be enforced across the board or not at all. Drivers overshoot corners with regularity are are never penalized for it. It was lucky that there wasn't a wall but luck works both ways. Vettel was also very lucky he wasn't lanced by Massa's missile of a car. That could have been REALLY bad.
