I saw the accident live, and then again on replay.
1) Objectively speaking, yes, Hamilton did leave Raikkonen with enough space. BUT that's objectively speaking and I bet in person, Raikkonen probably had a heart attack.
2) Raikkonen's wheel locked up, tires were cold, and there wasn't much he could do.
3) He did "plow" into Hamilton, but given the situation, there wasn't a whole lot that either party could do.
4) I can understand Hamilton's frustration at the end of the race. Just imagine if you were ahead by a car's length going into a corner, only to be punted into the gravel, you would probably have some sort of reaction.
5) Good on Raikkonen for accepting the error, even though there wasn't much he could do about it. Imagine if it were Vettel: "I didn't touch him, he spun himself. What are we doing here, honestly?!"
