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?

LOOK AT THIS!

Great call from @SkySport Italy:
back in 2016, MonacoGP, Hamilton did to Verstappen same as Vettel did to Hamilton today.
What sanction F1 gave to Hamilton?
NONE!@matteobobbi pic.twitter.com/q82RGC1SPL
