I'm not fully blaming Hamilton, but I'm saying he isn't free of blame. The media machine will make sure that Hamilton is free of blame because he needs to be surrounded by love and kittens so he doesn't throw a strop.
However, if they don't tell Hamilton the truth and the reason why they bought him in down to past issues, it'll happen again.

The reason they brought him in was because they thought they had a big enough gap to do so and keep him in front.
Why the hell wouldn't Merc know this? Well, they did but they were worried about Hamilton's mood.
The thing is, if that Sauber hadn't have held them up, Hamilton would have been infront, won the race and everything would have been fine.

Hamilton did what he told so he is to blame? What horseshit crap. For sure he will double question every single decision from now on. Maybe it is payback for driving a hard contract? Lots of things he can grumble about now for sure. This is a complete cock up by the Merc pit/Hamilton's team for failing to allow for someone else might be pitting - and if only 2 seconds was the margin ... 
It is only 3 points but the Merc team are probably glad that Vettel was half a length ahead when he rejoined so Hamilton ceded the 2nd place and hence the chance of a real go at Rosberg.

I know you're taking the mickey Chippo but I love this conspiracy stuff. That's why Rosberg's car broke down in the final double points race last year. German conspiracy as you say!
I'm quite impressed at how Hamilton reacted actually. I'd have been more livid
