I'm only mentioning it as example of a situation that would have a completely different face on it, not because I want another protracted discussion on Hamilton vs Max.

Max had left a car's width on the inside, and Lewis missed the apex, so no, it would still be Lewis's fault. Hamilton also completed overtakes with less room left at Copse later in the race, so no it was his fault based on this.
The point is moot however, this was not the law at Silverstone.
The law should be: If there is any portion of a car alongside you, you will leave a car's width between you and the edge of the circuit.
Yes is will compromise your racing line.
The stewards problem will be whether it was a desperate dive that just resulted in a collision or the car was legitimately alongside.
