If anyone is to blame here, is Vettel - after all, he's the one who squeezed Max into a non-existent gap. But I would actually put it down as a racing incident: driving towards another driver to cut him off is the kind of maneuver that we're used to seeing all the time in starts, only that in this particular instance Sebastian hasn't realized that Kimi was there. It was a sliver of bad judgment and a lot of bad luck.
slightly letting go of the throttle would have been sufficient.

i agree that it is a racing incident and that nobody is really to blame, although vettel initiated it.
but i also believe that a more experienced, less aggressive driver would have avoided it by backing off a little.
