Watch the replay carefully...Massa is almost alongside, then Hamilton moves across while Massa is already on the brakes - reminded me of the Kobayashi-Hamilton incident.
Martin Brundle, a very well respected commentator, mentioned on the post-race show (BBC forum) that Hamilton appears to be having trouble with his peripheral vision. Apparently, Hamilton had confided that he's having trouble with his mirrors due to vibration or something of that sort.
Either way, Hamilton's race craft has been sloppy, although he was unlucky to pick up that puncture today.

Exactly, to me, its the same mistake as Spa, Hamilton wasn't realize and expecting another driver to be at the position when he going for a corner. Definitely Hamilton's mistake, no doubt about it, but penalty, neh...its more silly mistakes of his bad season.
Its easy to say it now, but they should've realize the vibration on Practice sessions and have the race engineer to alert the driver some other cars fast approaching, so give room or block before he's side by side.
