So is this Vettels fault? He turned in a bit early pushing Raikonnen into Verstappen who had a gap wich he took. However Vettel couldn't have know Verstappen was next to Raikonnen so he thinks he is in the right.

Well, Vettel shouldn't have steered into Raikonnen either way. You can't be proactive when you take the outside, you have to be reactive.

It's naive for verstappen to think that there is something to gain by forcing his car in the gap, but it's not an actual mistake.

Tell that to Hamilton in Hungary. Oh wait, he didn't get the penalty for that
