Honourable Mention: Lewis Hamilton and Sebastian Vettel, Azerbaijan 2017
On Lap 12 of last weekend’s Azerbaijan Grand Prix, there was a series of safety cars due to the circuit being littered with debris, and at the second restart on Lap 19, Hamilton led Vettel into the final corner.
Hamilton was backing the field up to allow his teammate Valtteri Bottas to catch the back of the pack and this caught Vettel out, the German ploughing into the back of the Mercedes and damaging his front wing. Incensed, Vettel then took the law into his own hands and swerved to the side of Lewis before bumping into him in a fit of rage.
Perhaps Hamilton was driving unnecessarily slowly, but as the leader, it is his pace to set, and what speed he chooses to go at is completely up to him. What is for sure though is that Vettel has embarrassed himself, a four-time world champion should never behave in such a deplorable manner.
The Ferrari driver was lucky to escape without being disqualified from the race but Vettel was instead awarded a 10-second stop/go penalty but still finished ahead of Hamilton because the Mercedes driver's headrest came loose and had to be replaced in an unscheduled stop.
