Sebastian Vettel’s hopes of challenging Lewis Hamilton in the Formula One Canadian Grand Prix on Sunday were thwarted by a first-turn clash with Max Verstappen, which left Vettel with a broken front wing.
Unfortunately for Ferrari the extent of the damage became apparent too late to take advantage of what would have been a free pit stop under the safety car, leaving the German to fight his way through from the back of the field. He eventually finished fourth.
“I didn’t really have anywhere to go because Lewis was in front, so if I brake later, then I run into Lewis,” Vettel said.
