Andretti, Mansell and others baffled by Vettel's Canadian GP penalty

The great and good of motor racing could not hide their shock at the controversial penalty which cost Sebastian Vettel and Ferrari victory at the Canadian Grand Prix.

Vettel launched a scathing attack on the Montreal race stewards after being penalised for an incident with Lewis Hamilton on lap 48. Having run wide on track, Vettel rejoined the track into the path of Hamilton and forcing the reigning world champion into evasive action.

The stewards deemed his return to the track had been done in an "unsafe manner", but Vettel questioned afterwards where else he could have done.
