a.) he was messing around under safety car conditions
b.) he put himself/others at risk during the safety car situion
c.) he lost control of his car !!! - AND during the safety car conditions
d.) he feels in the middle of a race is an appropriate time to interact with other drivers from the cock pit
It's not the first time he believes he can rule the track during the race, I'd honestly either disqualify him from the race for his total disregard of the safety car rules (losing control of your car under the safety car )or I'd ban him for one race for endangering other track users during a safety car situation, this wasn't a minor issue, the implications could have been very serious and he has form at this, an endorsement or a fine doesn't hurt at this time, a one race ban or disqualification would be the only way to actually provide a genuine punishment for this behaviour. These are professional race drivers and both world champions, and the lower formula drivers show more respect to the safety car than these guys, and its very disappointing.
I bet Vettel was concentrating on his steering wheel to get the car ready for the restart and didn't notice Lewis .. the cars don't have brake lights so you need to keep a reasonable distance behind the safety car and pay attention. Woolf was angry .. not seen him be so rude to a Sky interviewer before. He and Vettel need anger management classes ...

I don't know if I even want to watch this shit any more.
Great stuff, and kudos to Ricciardo, Bottas and (especially) Stroll for being the guys there at the end when the cards landed.
Vettel made a rookie error and then to cover his embarassment tried to blame Lewis, it was obvious he just coasted into the corner and didn't then gas on unlike the first restart, there was no brake input at all. Lewis can moan but Seb is such a petulant over privileged child at times.
Was a reasonable race though.

What Vettel did afterwards is just ridiculous. 10s stop and go does not come close. Even if Hamilton had blatantly brake checked him, you can't bash into someone on purpose!
Vettel should be given a one race suspended ban for the rest of the season at the very least, he needs to sort himself out. I've no doubt he scared himself which added to the reaction, but I'm pretty sure that Hamilton never braked and just got off the gas and Vettel was predicting a scarper and did himself over.

Taking his foot of the gas there is definitely enough to make it premeditated, especially coming from a driver with as much experience as Hamilton has.
Live with it.
The stewards have access to all the footage and telemetry, they saw fit to penalise one driver not both, what driver would seriously want to crash in that instance? Least of all one who is behind in the championship, it's not like Senna vs Prost at Suzuka now is it?
Yes you have your opinion and this time you're wrong.

- The stewards would have access to Hamilton's telemetry
- Had Hamilton break-tested Vettel the telemetry would have proved it
- Had Hamilton taken his foot off the accelerator the car would have stopped
- From what I saw Hamilton kept a consistent speed
- The stewards obviously agreed as he wasn't penalised
What I saw was Vettel right up Hamilton's exhaust pipe expecting him to make a dash - he probably also had one eye on Massa, who nearly mugged him at the end of the previous safety car stint, and was fiddling with his steering wheel to change into the correct mode to chase down Hamilton .. in short he was distracted and hit Hamilton. What he did next deserved a ban.I'm not sure whether we saw the same incident.
