Sebastian Vettel was penalised for dangerous driving after deliberately crashing into title rival Lewis Hamilton in a wild and chaotic Azerbaijan Grand Prix won by Red Bull's Daniel Ricciardo yesterday.
Hamilton’s Mercedes teammate Valtteri Bottas snatched second place from 18-year-old Williams driver Lance Stroll in the final straight, as Vettel finished fourth ahead of Hamilton to extend his championship lead to 14 points.
The race will be remembered for the angry confrontation between former world champions Vettel and Hamilton. Ferrari star Vettel was handed a 10-seconds stop-go penalty during the race for “dangerous driving” after he deliberately drove into Hamilton’s Mercedes while both were following the safety car.
