Scuderia Ferrari Team Principal Mattia Binotto said that Sebastian Vettel will “emerge even stronger” from the Canada Grand Prix penalty controversy. Last week, the Italian side dropped its intention to simply appeal the German driver’s lost victory, and vowed instead to push for a “review” of the stewards’ decision.
For that, Scuderia Ferrari needs to present new evidence about the incident that saw Sebastian Vettel return to the racing line ahead of Lewis Hamilton.
“For our part, regarding the images and data we have available, we are convinced that there was no misconduct,” Ferrari boss Mattia Binotto told Rai. – “Sebastian made a mistake on the grass, but I believe he only tried to recover the car afterwards.”
A team spokeswoman confirmed that Ferrari is “evaluating the right to review”, amid reports the team has until the French GP this weekend to request it.
Mattia Binotto added: “We are trying to bring new elements to eventually have a different outcome. We will see in what form and in what way. In any case, we are working hard. Knowing Seb, I believe he will emerge even stronger than he was before. For the rest, his reaction is understandable.” – the Scuderia Ferrari Team Principal concluded.
