I understand why Hamilton got the penalty. Rule books can't cover every eventuality and circumstance; it's always a best-fit approach. But it was Max who was the reckless idiot who caused the crash. You should never try to force someone off the track like that, particularly at a high speed corner. Hopefully Max will learn a lesson and start driving more sensibly... but of course he never learns.
Yeah Hamilton got a 10 second penalty, which means even the FIA stewards already decided that Hamilton was wrong, so there is absolutely no reason why we are still talking about who is at fault here because it is already decided, Hamilton was wrong and he got 10 second penalty, it wasn't a HUGE mistake, it was a small enough that it was just 10 seconds.

So, what I really think is the simple fact that Hamilton did a small mistake but when you are racing 200+ km an hour wheel to wheel then even a small mistake ends up with 51g worth of crash could be result. This is simply just a very bad situation for anyone involved, but Hamilton got the way. I do agree that it was definitely disrespectful and distasteful for him to be so much cheering when there was a guy in hospital because of him...
