Hamilton was deemed by the FIA to have been at fault for a brush with Perez as they battled for position through Paul Frere in the damp opening section of the sprint race.
The contact between the Mercedes and Red Bull left Perez with a hefty amount of damage, and the Mexican later retired from the race after a trip through the gravel.
But while Perez and the FIA felt that Hamilton was to blame, Wolff thinks that his driver did nothing wrong.
"Absolute racing incident," said Wolff.
"This is a sprint race. We want to see them racing, and the argument of the damage isn't valid because he [Perez] was going backwards before then. Massively backwards.
"I think when you look at that corner, they were side-by-side. And yeah, fair enough, it takes two to tango, but it's a racing incident. For me, that's pretty clear."
Hamilton was able to race on after the clash with Perez and eventually came home in fourth place – after being unable to find a way past third-placed finisher Pierre Gasly.
However, the five-second penalty dropped Hamilton to seventh at the chequered flag.
