McLaren's Hamilton was dropped from seventh to eighth after stewards ruled he "made more than one change of direction" while dicing with Alonso, his former team mate.
And Ferrari driver Alonso also received a post-race drive-through penalty - 20sec added to his race finishing time - for "causing a collision" when he drove into Hamilton's rear.
But the Spaniard keeps his sixth place.
Hamilton said: "He just clipped me with his wing and broke my car's rear floor. I don't how much downforce that lost me.
"Today wasn't the greatest of days."
DAMAGED WING
The collision is sure to add to the bad blood between the bitter F1 rivals. The former team mates were fighting over a podium spot with just over 10 laps to go when Alonso clipped Hamilton's rear wheel.
Alonso was forced to pit with a damaged front wing and finished sixth; Hamilton's race unravelled as he struggled with worn tyres in the final few laps, dropping from third to seventh (then eighth with the penalty).
They left the track with conflicting emotions: Hamilton described the race as "a disaster" and questioned his team's strategy while Alonso was buoyed by Ferrari's competitiveness in race conditions.
