He was never going to be punished for that one as it was a team blunder.
There has always been rule infringements, Rule clarifications and investigations due to complaints within the sport which are all sorted out without all this drama in the press until now, to be quite frank all this crying in the press is getting quite tedious and starting to detract from the exciting racing. I'm sure the press and ITV
would still call it the most exiting and closely fought season ever if Hamilton was/had already won the championship by 30 points.
If Hamilton leaves F1 (which I don't think he will do) just because the team he drives for were caught breaking the rules of the sport and someone dared complain about a bit of his driving (which frankly wasn't exactly stellar, and rightly investigated after a complaint, and found not to be bad enough to warrant sanctions) then he's the fool for that. He's going to clean up over the next 10-15 years if he stays.
BTW the point system should be changed to 12-8-6-5-4-3-2-1 in order to reward a race win properly. Then maybe the teams wouldn't all stop racing after the last pit stop
