You're not allowed to block your brakes just because you feel like it.
Hamilton just slowed down he did not seem to slam on his brakes.
Vettels reaction is crazy. Surely he needs a serious punishment but I bet nothing happens.

Vettels reaction was definitely crazy, but Hamilton created the first incident by suddenly braking.

He didn't brake. He simply didn't accelerate, but that's different from braking.

Hamilton was slow but at a consistent pace. Vettel was off-guard after being caught out the previous 2 restarts.

That was Seb just being a TWAT , pure and simple.
Correct.

Vettel went into pure cock mode, like he sometimes does, and saw the red mist. Expect him to get a fairly severe penalty for it.

No your wrong , even the pro drivers on C4 said he was at a constant speed.
Looked like he slammed the brakes to me, but i guess Whiting will have better info at his disposal to make a decision

Was going off Danish commentators regarding the braking. They talked about some camera angles that showed Hamilton braking. I can't find a clip that backs that up right now though. Regardless, driving slowly is illegal as well https://www.formula1.com/en/champio...y_Car_and_Suspending_and_resuming_a_race.html
Drivers must not drive unnecessarily slowly, erratically or in a manner that could be deemed potentially dangerous to other competitors. Drivers may not pit, unless it is to change tyres. They are also not permitted to overtake, except if another driver in front enters the pit lane or slows with an obvious problem.

Think if hamilton did slam the brakes both will get a penalty, but Vettel might get a black flag here. Hamilton might get a 5 seconds penalty

Hamilton did not break he just didn't accelerate. Vettel should be concerned with car in front not the one behind. What vettel did is unbelievable. He has no excuse and needs a penalty. No matter who did that it's bloody madness.
