Thing is, basically, in Hamilton's case he started off behind Massa and ended up in front of him so any going-off-track malarkey can reasonably be said to have given him an advantage so that seems like a fair call IMO.
The worrying thing in the Hulk'/Perez incident is that Hulk'
was in front, didn't weave, didn't go off track and didn't do
anything other than go around the corner on the racing line and yet was told to yield a place to Perez who, basically, just managed to get the nose of his car up alongside Hulk's car, on the outside of the corner, but then ran out of road as Hulk' followed the racing line.
That's simply a textbook example of a failed overtaking attempt, IMO, rather than something worthy of forcing the other driver to yield a position.
