I don't think Vettel actually meant to hit Hamilton's car. It was still a stupid thing to do and a DQ from Baku would have been appropriate. More than that would have been too much.

I think Vettel has made it worse by refusing to acknowledge he made a mistake. It was plain to see that he thought he got brake tested, lost his cool and tried to make a visible statement of his anger by pulling alongside Hamilton and swerving to the right. That was a stupid thing to do and he compounded it by swerving too much and hitting the Mercedes. Basically, he f__ked up.

He would have done himself a world of good by saying 'sorry, I thought I got brake tested and wanted to make Hamilton aware I was pissed off but I didn't mean to hit him, my bad'. Of course, he's too arrogant or stupid to do that so makes matters worse by ignoring his actions and complaining that Hamilton wasn't penalised.

I don't like Vettel that much. He's a fine driver and I hope he wins Ferrari another title (or two or three) but he's no Giles or Alesi.
