Daniel Ricciardo: Lewis Hamilton did not brake-test Sebastian Vettel

Daniel Ricciardo does not subscribe to Sebastian Vettel's notion that Lewis Hamilton brake-tested him during the Azerbaijan Grand Prix.

The German was left furious during the second Safety Car period after he felt Hamilton had rapidly slowed down upon entry into Turn 15, causing him to make contact with the rear of his Mercedes. Vettel then proceeded to drive alongside Hamilton, waving his hand in the air in disapproval, before bizarrely turning in and making contact again.

Data analysed by the stewards found that Hamilton had maintained a consistent speed and behaved in the same manner as he had on the other Safety Car restarts.
