• Vettel could have been banned or fined but will not be punished • Driver apologised to FIA at meeting following Azerbaijan clashThe FIA will take no further action against Sebastian Vettel after investigating the incident in which he drove into Lewis Hamilton at the Azerbaijan Grand Prix. “During the restart lap I got surprised by Lewis and ran into the back of his car,” he said. Vettel hit the back of his championship rival Hamilton’s Mercedes while the pair were behind the safety car in Baku. Data examined by the stewards proved Hamilton had not braked but at the time Vettel remained unrepentant and insisted both drivers should have received penalties. “The FIA notes this commitment, the personal apology made by Sebastian Vettel and his pledge to make that apology public,” the statement continued.
