Ferrari Won’t Appeal against Vettel Penalty

By Daily Sports on June 14, 2019

Ferrari will not appeal against the penalty that cost Sebastian Vettel victory in the Canadian Grand Prix.

The German won on track but was penalised five seconds for dangerous driving, which handed victory to Mercedes driver Lewis Hamilton.

Ferrari said they would appeal against the decision but BBC Sport has learned that on Thursday they told governing body the FIA they would withdraw it.

Ferrari say they are “still working on collecting evidence” on the incident.

But they declined to confirm that their appeal had been formally withdrawn.

Ferrari is believed to be considering challenging the penalty via a different approach - a right to review the incident.

Vettel left the track at the Turn Three/Four chicane when under pressure from Hamilton on lap 48 of the race on Sunday.

He rejoined the track on the exit of the corner and swept across to the wall on the outside. Hamilton, who had half his car alongside the Ferrari, hit the brakes to avoid crashing into Vettel.

Race stewards decided the four-time world champion had “rejoined the track in an unsafe manner and forced (Hamilton) to take evasive action to avoid a collision”.

A number of sections of the FIA’s international sporting code potentially govern the incident between Hamilton and Vettel. (BBC)
