There should have been no penalty for Vettel because of these two issues:

1. First, it's pretty much impossible to stop a car that's bouncing on grass. The driver is basically a passenger over the grassy stretch.

2. Once on track, Vettel is clearly seen briefly turning the steering wheel right (steering front wheels towards the wall). However, if you study the incident from various angles, it seems like it was done to correct a subtle oversteer. The correction was small enough for the car to regain traction. There is no way Vettel could either brake or take a sharper left turn to allow Hamilton a full racing line because that would certainly make Vettel's car lose traction, specially with dirty tires after taking a trip off the track. In the worst case, both cars would end in the wall.

What really happened was a racing incident involving now classic Vettel mistakes under pressure, but there should have been no penalty.
