If you watch it frame by frame you can see Max start to swerve to avoid Vettel's move, Max then sees how close he is to Kimi and lifts off. At that instant Kimi and Max touch.

I don't think Max realized how good of a start Kimi had and was caught off guard.

Don't think anything would have happened had Vettel not swerved all the way over.
But Vettel did do exactly what he should have done.
Force Max over to a tight inside line at the first corner to make him lose speed and take the lead from Max.

They're all kinda at fault.
Vettel for swerving all the way over.
Max for not realizing he was so close to Kimi.
And Kimi for not Moving over.

Kimi had nearly half a car width between him and the white line.

Have to agree with the stewards, Racing Indecent.
