Ferrari's Sebastian Vettel was angry
with Formula One championship rival Lewis Hamilton of Mercedes
after beating Hamilton to fourth place in the Azerbaijan Grand
Prix to extend his lead over the Briton to 14 points Sunday.
The two aces' cars touched several times when the safety car
was on, leading to a 10-second penalty for Vettel in an
accident-strewn race surprisingly won by Red Bull's Daniel
Ricciardo with Mercedes' Valtteri Bottas in second and Williams'
Lance Stroll third.
"Hamilton braked a couple of times, you don't do that, I
don't know why I got the penalty, I don't know why I got the
penalty and he didn't," an angry Vettel said after the race in
Baku.
"It's dangerous for the one behind, I damaged my wing, you go
and tell him"," he told reporters.
Hamilton said "it's not true I braked suddenly" and
criticised Vettel's car handling, saying "it's not the conduct
you expected from a four-time world champion".
