Wasn't the mistake Hamilton's engineer's for releasing him?

Vettel was clearly in front. Hamilton should have lifted and fell in behind him regardless. You really can't blame Hami or Vettel really. The engineer was trying to get his guy ahead of Vettel if he could. And if Vettel didn't fight then Mc succeeded. Hami had to try and eventually gave in. Vettel moved over a bit to make it known the he wasn't giving in squeezing Hami over to the slow lane.
Timing was right for the fight and the more competitive guy with the position advantage won in that fight. There have been plenty of other racing in the pit lanes.
I think Hami knew he didn't have position, but he had to try and get Vettel to back off.
It's not safe in the pits but these guys are competitors.
