FLASHBACK: Hamilton committing Vettel's offence... with no penalty!

If you thought you were angry about Sebastian Vettel losing victory at the Canadian Grand Prix due to a penalty for impeding Lewis Hamilton, you haven't seen anything yet. Sky Sport Italia dug up footage of Hamilton committing a pretty similar offence in 2016, for which he went unpunished.

Vettel squirmed across the grass and track after getting out of shape at Turn 4 while being harried by Hamilton from the lead of the race.

As the German battled for control, Hamilton had to jam on the brakes to avoid a collision - something the stewards deemed worth of a five-second penalty.

Vettel crossed the line first but was classified second as a result and reacted furiously both during and after the race.

If his attention is drawn to this, he might blow his top all over again.

What do you reckon?
