Not lifting going off doesn’t help his case. He clearly was attempting to stay in front while going off. You can see him still in it as he switches back to asphalt, he then loses the rear.
All this doesn’t happen if Vettel doesn’t bend yet again under pressure.

A great driver, with a superior car, doesn't drive his mirrors, freak out and end up in the grass. I promise you if Hamilton left the track and returned to cut off Vettel the fans would be furious. I viewed this result as poetic justice....Vettel has shown us he is not the best at handling pressure so this is what happens. I was at the race and the roar of booing at Lewis was childish....he did not cause the incident and he did not impose the penalty....he was a victim of circumstances , none of which were his doing.
