Ferrari requests review of Vettel's Canadian GP penalty

Maranello - Ferrari has requested an audit of the stewards' choice that cost Sebastian Vettel triumph in the Canadian Grand Prix, a group representative said on Monday.

Vettel completed first in the race in Montreal on June 9 yet lost the success following a five-second time punishment for going off track and returning in what stewards regarded to be a risky design.

Mercedes' Formula One title pioneer Lewis Hamilton was announced the champ.

Noteworthy and applicable new proof that was not accessible at the time is required for a group to present a 'right of survey' under article 14 of the administering FIA's International Sporting Code.

The representative said Ferrari, who a week ago dropped an arranged dissent against the punishment, had officially mentioned the survey yet gave no further subtleties "because of the affectability of the issue".

Stewards will currently have sole watchfulness to decide if such a huge and significant new component existed, with their choice last.

On the off chance that the audit is considered admissable, an optional hearing will be held.

Mercedes has won every one of the seven races so far this season, and the last nine altogether, with Britain's multiple times best on the planet Hamilton now 29 points clear of Finnish colleague Valtteri Bottas in the standings.

Vettel, who was angry with a choice that caused a prompt debate, is 62 loose of Hamilton.

Recipe One holds its eighth race of the 21 round season in the south of France this end of the week at Le Castellet circuit, where the punishment is probably going to remain a noteworthy argument.

The Williams group mentioned a privilege of audit last season against a three-place matrix punishment gave to Russian driver Sergey Sirotkin, contending that critical and significant new components had developed. Stewards collectively dismissed the move.
