Ferrari appeal against Vettel penalty

(FASTNEWS|COLOMBO) – Ferrari have appealed against the 5-second penalty that cost Sebastian Vettel victory in the Canadian Grand Prix.

The German was penalised for re-joining the circuit in an unsafe manner and forcing Lewis Hamilton off the track.

Vettel had made a mistake at Turn Three on lap 48 while under pressure from Hamilton, who said he had to back off to avoid hitting the Ferrari.

Ferrari were unable to give any further details of the grounds for appeal.
