I saw the article on GPUpdate, and the link there was down:

And, after watching the F1 Live link... I don't see how anything's Hamilton's fault. Sure he slowed the pace, but he was way off line... Webber and Vettel were fine to roll past him temporarily in the name of
not crashing. But Webber put the binders on unnecessarily hard, and Vettel was tailgating, which IMO is where the fault lies.
No offense intended to Vettel, he's not a bad kid, but he should have known people will heat the brakes behind the SC, and if you follow closely at least be off-line from the guy in front. Hell, that's not just basic race-craft, that's basic driving in traffic knowledge. I bet if Vettel had had a plain-old normal driver's license for more than 2 years, that accident wouldn't have happened. I really feel for the kid, 'cause he had a real shot at a podium spot that race... but if he's that quick in the wet (the great equalizer), if he ever gets a front-row car under him, he'll be back.
