Vettel: Stewards stole race win from Ferrari in Canada
Sebastian Vettel was furious with the stewards' decision which handed the Canadian Grand Prix to Mercedes driver Lewis Hamilton.
In an incident likely to be debated for a while, Vettel ran wide at Turn 4 on the 48th lap. In rejoining the track, Vettel squeezed Hamilton -- who had been in close proximity behind -- towards the wall, forcing the reigning world champion to brake heavily.
The incident was immediately investigated and Vettel was soon hit with a five-second time penalty. That meant he had to finish the race more than five seconds ahead of Hamilton to win the race, which he was unable to do.
