Lewis Hamilton was promoted to first place at the Circuit Gilles Villeneuve – the British star claiming his fifth win from seven rounds – following Vettel’s five-second punishment for almost crashing into his Mercedes rival.
Backing their driver, Ferrari said they were “disappointed” by the steward’s decision and will appeal.
On lap 48, and with Hamilton crawling all over his Ferrari gearbox, Vettel lost control, sliding over the grass at the third bend before re-joining the track.
But Hamilton, who was forced to brake to avoid a collision with the recovering Ferrari driver, accused Vettel of dangerous driving. The stewards concurred, hitting the German with a timed penalty and slapping him with two points on his licence.
Check the above gallery to see how Vettel lost his cool in Canada.
