Wright, you should note that the three points deducted are not from the championship but from the driver's license (so to speak). And it's those three points plus another one that he got before that grants him the last place in the next race.

Now, when it comes to the incident, it's very clear that it's Rossi's fault, he is the one that slows down and looks for Marquez but not to try to make him fall, but to send him out of track so he could ride more "calmly" because Marquez was also doing weird things (he said that his tyres weren't warm enough so he was pushing hard in some sections but slowed down in others, which is what drove Rossi crazy) but since that is not against the rules, Race Direction hasn't taken actions against him.

And the kick... I don't know if Rossi kicked Marquez or not. I really don't know. The heli cam suggests that, but going with the cam you posted it looks like it's Marquez who hits Rossi's leg after he had no other place to go after Rossi closed the door, which is why they have sanctioned Rossi for "irresponsible riding causing a crash", not for throwing a rider off his bike.

At least, that's what Race direction has said: http://www.motogp.com/en/news/2015/10/25/sepangclash-race-direction-verdict-on-rossi-marquez/188434

In any case, given that all the riders involved are ok, what I take from this incident is that Rossi, who is always messing with the other riders heads with comments like the ones we had since thursday, has shown that this time he has been the one that has fallen victim of his mind tricks, and that he is really desperate to win this championship because he knows that this is his last time to do it (he got lucky that Honda made a terrible bike this year and that Lorenzo had a bad start in the championship).
