Well apparently Hamilton was leaving the sector when race control issued the yellows, so it may not have flashed up on his dash.

In which case he will start second. He did two laps good enough for second, so if the flags were out when he left the sector he won't get a penalty.

By the way, I'm not arguing his defence if he did ignore yellows. He should get the same penalty Max got at Mexico if he did ignore them.
