LE CASTELLET, France -- Ferrari believes the new evidence it has provided to the FIA concerning Sebastian Vettel's controversial Canadian Grand Prix penalty is significant enough to prove it was the wrong decision.
Vettel was penalised five seconds after running wide while leading the race in Montreal and rejoining the track in front of rival Lewis Hamilton. The stewards decided he had returned to the track in an unsafe manner and run Hamilton off the track, resulting in a penalty that ultimately cost him victory and demoted him to second place.
Ferrari and the FIA will meet on Friday afternoon at the Paul Ricard circuit, the host of this weekend's French Grand Prix, to determine whether the new evidence warrants a review of the penalty.
