Hamilton calls on Todt to answer questions

SPIELBERG, Austria -- Lewis Hamilton has suggested FIA president Jean Todt make a public appearance to help explain the governing body's decision not to take further action against Sebastian Vettel following the events of the Azerbaijan Grand Prix.

On Monday, Vettel was summoned to the FIA's headquarters in Paris to explain his actions to a panel of FIA officials and Todt. During the meeting the Ferrari driver accepted responsibility for the collision and extended an apology to the governing body, which was referenced by the FIA as a reason for Todt not to take further action.

However, after the race in Baku, Hamilton had expressed concerns that Vettel's actions set a bad example for younger generations in motorsport -- a concern that was also mirrored in the FIA's statement on Monday.
