So Kimi Raikkonen should be penalized too...
If Hamilton did not cut the chicane, there will be an accident...
And Kimi DID "pushed" Hamilton off the course, Lewis had to cut the chicane in order to avoid an accident....
we've seen TONNES of drivers cut the chicanes on various courses to avoid accidents (especially the first few corners on the first lap)....i don't see them getting penalized a lot...only a few who gained a track position and didn't give it up immediately.....

16) INCIDENTS
16.1 "Incident" means any occurrence or series of occurrences involving one or more drivers, or any action by any driver, which is reported to the stewards by the race director (or noted by the stewards and referred to the race director for investigation) which:
- necessitated the suspension of a race under Articles 41;
- constituted a breach of these Sporting Regulations or the Code;
- caused a false start by one or more cars;
- caused a collision;
- forced a driver off the track;
- illegitimately prevented a legitimate overtaking manoeuvre by a driver;
- illegitimately impeded another driver during overtaking.
Unless it was completely clear that a driver was in breach of any of the above, any incidents involving more than one car will normally be investigated after the race.
