You know, I'm perfectly okay with the penalty of Vettel as long as the reason for it is told to be him giving Hamilton less than a car's width
after having control of his car again. The point of when he had control is crucial. One side tell it was right after he rejoined the track and I tell it was after he needed to correct the oversteer. Once it was corrected, one car's width was gone already.
none of that matters, because the rule says nothing about when you regain control, only how you re-entered the track!
Are you sure? This is what Rosberg told: "If out of control all the time whilst squeezing Lewis then no penalty. As you don’t get penalty for making a mistake going off and sliding back onto the track even if you end up hitting someone."
But whatever, the matter is done already.

His retirement was overshadowed by that of Jenson Button at the hands of Sebastian Vettel; on the approach to the Bus Stop, the Red Bull driver was spotted weaving aggressively behind the 2009 World Champion. He ran too deep into the corner and lost control, effectively throwing himself into a spin whilst still travelling in a straight line. In a collision similar to his collision with Webber in Istanbul, Vettel's inevitable trajectory saw him make contact with Button. Vettel was able to pit almost immediately, but the damage to Button's McLaren was catastrophic, destroying his sidepod, and with it his radiator.
Vettel was subsequently handed a drive-through penalty – his second in as many races – for causing an avoidable accident.

(Vettel making mistakes, and crashing into others like a pro)
Does not matter if you have control or not as long as the mistake is yours that made you lose it (as long as someone else didn't push you).
