Ferrari lodges intention to appeal Vettel's penalty in Canada

MONTREAL -- Ferrari has lodged an intention to appeal the stewards' decision that cost Sebastian Vettel victory at the Canadian Grand Prix.

Vettel crossed the line in first place in Canada but was penalised five seconds for an incident on lap 48 of the grand prix, dropping him behind Lewis Hamilton in the final classification. After making a mistake in Turn 3 and cutting the apex at Turn 4, the race stewards judged that Vettel rejoined the track in a unsafe manner and forced Hamilton off the track.
