Press comments: “The FIA gives victory to Hamilton”

GREAT BRITAIN The Guardian: “Lewis Hamilton took victory for Mercedes, but only after an incident that left Vettel fuming, disappointed and confused at how the decision had been made against him. He and Ferrari had the race in hand, but the victory was taken away from them and the finale almost degenerated into a pantomime, which brought little joy to all the drivers involved, not least Hamilton.”

Daily Telegraph: “The wrath of hell could not be greater than that of the spurned four-time world champion. Not only did he rage about what he saw as an unfair punishment, but he also promptly went back to parc ferme and swapped numbers one and two to make it clear that Hamilton's triumph was illegitimate."

The Sun: “Vettel, who led from start to finish, received a slap in the face from the race stewards in the form of a penalty after Hamilton forced him to make a mistake.”

BBC Sport: “Vettel complained that Hamilton could have driven inside, but that was an inaccurate analysis of the situation that developed. Nevertheless, there will no doubt be many who feel that Vettel should have gotten away with it and the drivers should have been allowed to race.” SPAIN AS: “Hamilton spoils Vettel’s party because of a controversial decision.”

Brand: “Vettel is giving away a victory that he already had in his pocket.”

Sports: “The FIA (determines the rules in Formula 1/ Note d. Red. ) gives Hamilton the victory.” ITALIAN The Republic: “What a mockery for Vettel. English Mercedes driver Lewis Hamilton triumphs in Canada thanks to a penalty that denied Sebastian Vettel victory. “Ferrari must therefore continue to wait for its first victory in a season that seems to have been largely decided before the summer break.” SWITZERLAND Daily Gazette: “It may have been an extremely frustrating day from Vettel’s perspective. It may also have been a harsh punishment that overtook him. But in the end, as has often been the case, one thing remains clear: If he hadn’t made this mistake, he would have won the race.”

The New Zurich Times: “What the Ferrari driver Vettel is once again confronted with is making mistakes too often under pressure (...) What he did remains a traffic hazard. Ferrari should think carefully about another protest because it was a factual decision. There are rules for that.” GERMANY Picture: “Formula 1 languished for six races through the 2019 season – then suddenly on Sunday there was a Canadian bang! Lewis Hamilton (34) wins in Montreal despite coming second in the race. But he benefits from a highly controversial penalty against Sebastian Vettel (31), who was given five seconds. They’re enough for him to lose the race.”

Frankfurter Allgemeine Zeitung: “But racing is about tough battles for position, about attacks and attacks in which braking maneuvers within the given limits are not only permitted, but also desired. In this respect, there is a touch of involuntary irony in the reasoning for the judgment. The penalized “dangerous return to the runway” was not dangerous in the eyes of the pilots. What is particularly dangerous is the consequences of the verdict – for the spirit of Formula 1.”

Southern German newspaper: “The punishment may have been severe. But it was understandable. And it was true: Vettel had made a driving mistake. That’s why it rolled across the lawn in the first place.”
