It's quite strange that people suggested the Button/Hamilton incident was just racing while the Webber/Hamilton incident was Hamilton's fault. I see it totally the other way round.
In the Webber/Hamilton incident, Hamilton was well on the inside, made the move and simply understeered a little more than expected. To me, this is a textbook example of where drivers shouldn't be penalised. It was just one of those things and Webber accepted it as such.
With the Schumacher/Hamilton and Button/Hamilton incidents, whilst nobody should be punished, they were both entirely Hamilton's fault. Why? What's the first piece of racecraft you teach a novice? Always go for the inside. If you go for the outside and get hung out to dry it's your own fault. Twice Hamilton went to the outside and twice he got hung out to dry.
