My take on the F1 thing...
Hamilton tried to overtake Raikonnen. Raikonnen appeared to push him wide coming into the Bus Stop, but in fact was probably unable to help himself because it was slippery and he was naturally running wide. So Hamilton had to cut the corner, thus gaining a place unfairly.
So Hamilton lets Raikonnen past again, in accordance with the rules, and then proceeds to overtake him once more, which is quite permissible under the rules.
And as someone (TGB?) said, Raikonnen dumped it into the wall anyway, all on his own, so it seems a bit unfair that Hamilton was penalised for (IMO) doing nothing wrong and certainly nothing which affected the outcome of the race.
BTW, the reason Raikonnen didn't get penalised for mangling one of his pit crew in Valencia, was probably because it was one of his pit crew, and therefore he disadvantaged only himself and his team.
