Hamilton on Seb penalty: "Unfortunate" but "you're supposed to come back safely"

Lewis Hamilton has reflected on the events of the Canadian Grand Prix which saw Sebastian Vettel handed a five-second penalty after the incident on lap 48.

After Vettel made a mistake and ran onto the grass at turn three his re-entry was deemed unsafe and the stewards handed him a five-second penalty. The penalty cost him his and Ferrari's first win of the season as Mercedes' winning run goes on.

"It was unfortunate, but this is motor racing," Hamilton told Martin Brundle.

The result was Hamilton's seventh win in Montreal and it was completely unexpected but gratefully taken as he managed the gap in the closing stages of the race excellently. Vettel's misery was spared a little as Charles Leclerc was unable to close the gap enough to finish second ahead of Vettel.
