Mercedes' Lewis Hamilton narrowly avoids careering in to the back of Canadian GP race leader Sebastian Vettel after the Ferrari driver rejoined the track having gone wide.

It was a controversial decision that denied Sebastian Vettel a Canadian GP victory, and one that has stirred plenty of debate. Did Vettel really deserve the five-second penalty which race stewards inflicted upon him?

Have your say via our poll...

The penalty for Vettel - which was handed to him for an unsafe re-entry after running wide and forcing Hamilton off the track - gave Hamilton his third victory in a row.

Stewards explain why Vettel was penalised
'The stewards reviewed video evidence and determined that Car 5 (Vettel) left the track at turn 3 and rejoined the track at turn 4 in an unsafe manner and forced Car 44 (Hamilton) off track,' a statement read.
