It says: "More than one change of direction to defend a position is not permitted.

Not the first and certainly not the last time the steward got this wrong.
There was only one move, and no one is disputing that.

Here's an interesting comment from Hamilton:
“I got a good start but he [Rosberg] slipstreamed me into Turn 1. Then through Turn 3 he had a d-rate - basically he made a mistake and started in the wrong engine setting. We only have one setting for maximum power and he wasn’t in it, which meant he was like 180bhp down."
