Kimi totally hit him on purpose. Took a play out of Rosberg's book. lol Just watch the post race interview prior to the trophy ceremony. He was talking as if he was nervous. The replay was pretty obvious. He could have taken the line Bottas did, but he kept the car straight as Hamilton gave him the room. Hence, 10 second penalty.
There is no way Kimi hit him on purpose.
The idea that an F1 car launching from start, maneuvering for position, can strategically bump another car out, without destroying his own car, is silly.

The ferraris have a proven track record of excellent launches (like Vettel did).
Once the Mercs get behind, they suffer in the turbulence.

The ten second penalty was over kill, and inconsistent with previous identical incidents. It was “because you hit Hamilton at home” penalty.
