Why didnt the stewards then?

why didn't the stewards see what?It's a racing incident, that doesn't mean someone is not to blame. Is just that it's a racing incident due to split second thinking and no punishments should or need to be dealt.

Yes
No, it's easy to give blame, just because there is blame doesn't mean it is not a racing incident or punishment needs to be handed out. This is racing. you will always get contact it's part of the sport, but you only punish reckless and pointless moves not any contact. This was neither pointless nor reckless but he did stuff it up.
A) i haven't said who is to blameSurely he could have slowed down though? Why couldnt he have broke more?

B) there is three drivers, which is much harder to anticipate what is going to happen.
Button may well of not noticed who ever that is and was expecting Alfonso to give him a bit more room.
Not really, it is off the start line and they are much more side by side (From that camera angle) than the lewis/webber incident.
Totally different scenarios, Masa was not trying to pass Hamilton and was ahead before he turned in. Hamilton was mid pass against Webber and shouldn't have turned in as sharp. But you knew that already
Disagree Hamilton has passed Webber (albeit it only half maybe 3/4 of the car) and it is Webber trying to make a come back pass.
I am over it, an i asking for anything to change? this is a discussion after all.

he's not defending, Hamilton had the line and was faster.
It was a silly attempt to try and get ahead, which paid of by luck not judgement.
That makes no difference.
Hamiltons ahead and on the line. That is what matters. The distance of how much he is ahead makes little difference. Unless it's literally side by side.
No ones saying that. I bet if Lewis survived and Webber DNF many peoples thoughts would be reversed. you yield when you are going to lose the place and only if you put yourself in danger of crashing out.
No, racing incident means more than that. No need to punish, poor split second descion. but there can still be blame imo.
Lot's of crashes have blame but are still racing incidents as they don't warrant punishment and is just part of the sport.
If you started punishing people on who is to blame, there would be penaltys most weekends and today we would have seen many penalties.
you missed the part where I said yield if that gap is clearly goign to be cut of and that you put yourself in danger of crashing.
As we saw a few races ago with lewis vs button. Neither need to yield and fought for several corners as there was always room.
sometimes you have to except your not on the race line, your now behind and accept that to fight at the next corner or the rest of the race.

Stupid argument, why don't you let it drop, so on and so forth.
If he can't make it you have three options, take the escape route and he would not get a penalty as he didn't gain an advantage, back off and drop behind, go in to deep and too fast which is what he did.

Says it all really. Now we can move on
we've been saying that since it happened.
Very high. I'm expecting 2 maybe three to still be able to clinch it. But I expect one of them to be ~20 points in the lead. meaning they just need a finish in the points.
