I've never been a big Vettel fan, but he got SCREWED! He should have won that race. He had no control after coming off the grass. I liked it when he said "Don't boo Lewis." Good sportsmanship!
I actually am in favor of the penalty. I think he purposefully went to the right side of the track to block. If he didn't have the mistake at all it seemed like Lewis was going to pass in the next couple of laps, which would have made for a thrilling final laps seeing Vettel try to regain the lead.
He did crack under pressure once again. I think he needs to take some self blame for losing control, rather than just whining about regulations.
Full disclosure, I am a Hamilton. The penalty certainly seemed questionable based on we saw on TV. The one thing we don't have is the telemetry which the stewards should have. My question would be did he take any action after losing control to gain control back, for example did lift on the throttle, did he touch his brakes or did he just hammer it in effort to stay ahead of Hamilton. If he just keep his foot in it maybe there would be some justification for the penalty otherwise very sketchy call.

Although Vettel did "screw up" himself, but I thought he had a good recovery. As a racing fan, I want to see hard, competitive racing!
