I think the limit of the "one move" is that you can choose a line to take for the straight, and then you can move away from that line, but you can also move back again to take the corner properly - like we often see in Monza on the entry to each of the Lesmos. The drivers seem to be allowed to make a straight half an "ellipse".

8 minutes 50 seconds into the BBC's highlights video. Vettel drifts a little right, then back to the left, then decides to defend the right, then moves back to the left to get a better run through the hairpin after Hamilton gets most of the way down his side.

I don't think it should have been penalised, but then I don't think Hamilton should have been in Malaysia either.
I think what Hamilton did in Malaysia should be the limit on a long straight, it wasn't excessive weaving like he did last year, I think it was a well balanced and save defense.

Didn't vettel get a reprimand or a penalty last year or in 2009 because of excessive weaving at the start?
Finishing races is important, but racing is more important.
