Massa fed back into
p20 after he finally made it back to the pits.
Hamilton fed to p16 after his new front wing, and then ended up in
p23 after his drive through.

As you say, it was an error. No more, no less. He certainly didn't intend to do it as he would have eventually passed Massa in another couple of laps and could have contended for a podium.

I think this says most of it. Hamilton was fighting hard to try to win. Then he gets dealt a spade and has to push harder. All of this started from his qualifying which twice, for no fault of his own he was hampered by bad luck. (Puncture and the refuelling delay) This left him down the field and behind his teammate on the start. After the first corner he got pidgeon holed into p8 and there was really nothing he could have done about it.
