get your facts straight.
Max left easily enough room on the inside for a car to pass. Ham rammed Max off the track.
Here's from another angle, just before they touched: Just look how much room VER left for HAM.
Easily enough to fit a F1 car, but Hammy decided not to use that space.
Remember that VER is leading into the corner, thus he can follow the racing line. All he has to do is leave enough room. And he did. That is why Hammy got penalized and VER didnt.
If it was a racing incident, none would have been penalized. But it wasn't

MAX didn't willingly leave any room, he also went into the corner hot and turned in late that's why he's positioned where he is. Both drivers were in hot, but the driver that initiated the contact was MAX.
Had MAX not have flown off track into the barrier, it's unlikely HAM would've received any penalty because he really didn't do anything but hold his ground.
