It does not. Like all F1 rules it's open to interpretation.
I think he is in a much better position for the pass in the next corner then he would have been had he not cut the chicane in the manner he did.
The stewards were obviously of the opinion that he did not fully negate the advantage gained, maybe he didn't give it up as soon and as decisively as he should.
On his acceleration after the corner it does not sound like he is lifting at all, I don't know what you think it sounds like, but to me it doesn't sound like someone letting another car through. (the second clip linked to previously).
There is obviously differences of opinions influenced by various allegiances and preconceptions floating around.

Go to the FIA website and show me where it states all F1 rules are open to interpretation. If Hamilton had stayed behind him throught he chicane, he would of been able to use the slipstream either way.
Im lost how you can think that being side by side going into a corner, then Hamilton being behind after giving up the postion can be of an advantage. If anything its a disadvantage due to the fact before the corner, they were side by side and after he was behind. With all due respect, wether it sounds like it or not, you have got to be blind if you cant see he gave the place back. If he didnt brake or didnt lift, how on earth did he end up behind Kimi?
