Sticking it in the wall is never going to be good, but he was caught out in mixed conditions as were a bunch of other cars, also Kimi who was directly behind Vettel did not manage to hold position against the Mercs, so Vettel would have been under a lot of pressure to keep his lap times very low, and that was why he was probably pressured into a mistake.
Hamilton was also granted a free pass by the stewards for his pit entrance change, and Bottas on full wets was prevented from winning by Mercedes.
