Sebastian Vettel time penalty review ‘on standby’ – report

Formula One will meet on Friday to hear Ferrari’s attempt to overturn the penalty that cost Sebastian Vettel victory in the Canadian Grand Prix, according to f1.co.uk. Scuderia have lodged a request for stewards to review the decision to penalize the German five second for dangerous driving against Mercedes’ Lewis Hamilton. The hearing will be at 13:15 BST before the French Grand Prix this weekend. Officials will consider whether Ferrari has “significant” new evidence. Vettel was deemed to have rejoined the circuit in an unsafe manner after making a mistake during lap 48, pushing rival Lewis Hamilton off the track in the process. Despite holding off the Mercedes driver for the rest of the race and crossing the finish line in front, the time penalty ensured Vettel finished second.

Verstappen says he is happy to make mistakes in F1
