Italia­n team said it is consid­ering whethe­r to reques­t an offici­al review­PARIS: Ferrari confirmed Friday they had dropped plans to appeal against a five-second penalty which cost Sebastian Vettel his first victory of the season at last week’s Canadian Grand Prix. “We have withdrawn our intention to appeal but we are looking at asking for a review,” said a Ferrari spokesman. Vettel was punished for making an unsafe re-entry into the action after 48 laps of Sunday’s race after running off track and across a strip of grass. Vettel held on to win the race ‘on the road’, but after his time penalty was applied he dropped to second and Hamilton claimed a record-equalling seventh victory in Canada. Ferrari’s decision to drop the appeal was expected because in-race sanctions are not subject to appeal, according to the sport’s ruling body, the International Motoring Federation (FIA).
