Ferrari are continuing to challenge Sebastian Vettel’s race-losing Canadian GP penalty after confirming they have formally asked for the decision to be reviewed.

Teams can submit a ‘right of review’ if they can present the stewards with new and ‘significant’ evidence which was not available at the time of the ruling.

Ferrari have not elaborated on the substance behind their request, only confirming they have submitted the request to the FIA.

Vettel was handed a five-second time penalty after stewards ruled he had forced Lewis Hamilton off the track after running wide on lap 48. The German took the chequered flag first, but was relegated to second behind the Mercedes driver.
