The FIA has cleared Lewis Hamilton of any wrongdoing during his second race restart after Sebastian Vettel accused the Mercedes driver of 'brake testing' him, which resulted in Vettel running into the back of the Briton's car.
Vettel accused Hamilton of braking unnecessarily during the restart, but he claims he was just making space between himself and the safety car by driving slowly, after being warned by his engineer during the first restart that it had been "close" as they crossed the line.
The Ferrari driver disagreed and believes Hamilton should also have been penalised for the incident which damaged Vettel's front-wing.
"I think it was quite obvious [the brake check]," he said. "I think if I got penalised he should get penalised."
The FIA, after studying all the video footage and telemetry from both cars, cleared Hamilton of any wrongdoing.
"It emerged that Hamilton did correctly, maintained a consistent speed and behaved in the same manner on that occasion as in all other restarts during the race," stated a note from the FIA's media delegate.
Hamilton was disappointed with Vettel's actions and after the race said: "I think that’s a disgrace, he disgraced himself today to be honest."
Vettel was also handed three-penalty points for deliberately driving into the side of Hamilton's car, which brings his 12-month tally to nine, which is just three short of a race ban – however two of those points expire after the British Grand Prix.
