Sebastian Vettel insists that the stop-and-go penalty applied to him in Baku after his swerved at Lewis Hamilton was too harsh.
The German insists that Hamilton had brake tested him, and that he should also have been penalized. Vettel eventually finished fourth – ahead of the Mercedes driver, who lost time when he had to have a loose headrest fixed.
“Well we know the leader dictates the pace,” said Vettel. “But we were exiting the corner, he was accelerating then he braked so much that I was braking as soon as I saw, but I couldn’t stop in time and ran in the back of him.
