Simply not true. Watch very carefully and you'll see that both cars exit the corner, follow the same line, and then Jenson makes a move left at the same time as Lewis chose to come out of the slip stream to the left. Jenson then squeezed him too much.

The replay the BBC just showed that Jenson was watching Hamilton in his mirrors when he squeezed Hamilton, so he knew he was there and tried to bully him out of the way. Presumably he didn't want to be overtaken a second time by Lewis in just one race, so go with all the other overtakes he's made on him this year.

Finally it's also clear that he was beyond Jensons rear tyre, despite what you claim, as his front tyre makes contact with the sidepod.
from the crappy video posted above you can see his front his Jensons rear
His front hit the front of Jenson's rear - i.e. where the sidepod is. It's very clear, doubly so on the HD replay I have on my telly.

the racing line is more on the inside of the second row, so that is from those starting positions the far side of the pit wall, the racing line really isnt there

Yep, and actually, looking at the incident again – there wasn't any spray behind button at the time thanks to the low speed. Button should have seen it coming.
... and let him pass? I don't think so. Button just did the right thing - defended him position with only one move.

Button chose a line then chose another at the same point Hamilton swung out of the slipstream. Button did the wrong thing by running another car off the track.

20.2 Manoeuvres liable to hinder other drivers, such as more than one change of direction to defend a position, deliberate crowding of a car beyond the edge of the track or any other abnormal change of direction, are not permitted.
Only one move is only half the rule. The other half of the rule is to not push people off the track.

Kobayashi in second place is a record for Japan, isn't it? Sato was third once.
