Ferrari will not appeal Vettel's Canadian GP penalty

Ferrari will not appeal the controversial penalty which cost Sebastian Vettel victory at the Canadian Grand Prix last Sunday.

Vettel crossed the line in first place in Canada but was penalised five seconds for an incident on lap 48, 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.

Vettel was furious after the race and said the stewards were "blind" and had stolen victory from Ferrari.
