I've watched a few times it in the youtube link Paps posted. My initial reaction live was he'd take a penalty, now I'd say it's pretty harsh, could have gone either way. Lewis did leave him room and Alex actually had more room on the left he didn't take advantage of. I guess he thought the move was done by then, but I'm definitely leaning towards a racing incident now.
However, I don't think it is possible to appeal an in race penalty so just going to have to suck it up. Net result: 6 point gain for VB's campaign. Could be crucial!
