Absolutely ... granted it's not as bad a Grosjean back in 2012, which got him a 2 race ban; but it was deliberate.
Although I believe Vettel should've been Black Flagged for the incident ... I understand the stewards hitting him with a Stop-n-Go penalty during the race, but should've been double that; insuring he wouldn't gain any team points for the race. Hitting him with a penalty which basically takes away the win wasn't enough.
The FIA needs to step in and address this, regardless of it being Vettel and Ferrari.
Frankly, I think the FIA should give him grid penalties for the next race. Enough to make sure that he's at the back of the pack on the start (ie. 35 spot penalty).
