Sebastian Vettel responds to Lewis Hamilton's 'trick' comment

MONZA, Italy -- Sebastian Vettel has no doubt his car is legal after Lewis Hamilton hinted that there were a few "trick things" on the Ferrari following last weekend's Belgian Grand Prix.

Vettel beat Hamilton to victory at Spa-Francorchamps after powering past his title rival on the opening lap of the race. The win saw Vettel close the gap to Hamilton to 17 points with eight races remaining and underlined the distinct power advantage Ferrari has held over Mercedes at recent races.

There has been questions around Ferrari's power gains since the start of the season, but an in-depth investigation by the FIA between the Azerbaijan and Monaco Grands Prix found nothing unusual on the car.
