Beat me to it. The regs state that last corner track limits breaches do carry over to the following lap being disallowed as well for the reasons of exit speed as Richard mentioned.
In this case McLaren were straight on the horn to race control pleading mitigation due to the weather and that there was no performance advantage gained in this case. RC agreed and reinstated the lap.
