Watching the pit lane incident, it appears that McLaren released Hamilton into Vettel's Path. I can understand the reprimand for Alonso and Hamilton for what they did at the entrance, but not for Hamilton driving down the slow lane in the pits. The cars are equipped with a speed limiter for the pit lane and Hamilton was not in front of Vettel while they were driving through the pits. McLaren was trying to get Hamilton out as quickly as possible, but not quite fast enough to get him out ahead of Vettel. Vettel would not have been able to "force" Hamilton into the slow lane if Hamilton had been released in time. Since he wasn't released early enough to clear Vettel he should have slowed down and followed him instead of creating a hazard and possibly being penalized as has happened in previous incidents where cars were released into the paths of others in the pit lane.
