Furious Sebastian Vettel moves winner's sign away from rival Lewis Hamilton's Mercedes car as Ferrari driver fumes over controversial time penalty and admits the sport is 'not the one he fell in love with'

Sebastian Vettel fumes that Formula One these days is 'not the one he fell in love with' after a controversial time penalty saw victory taken away from him in Montreal for the Canadian Grand Prix.
As he rejoined the track Hamilton attempted to overtake Vettel but didn't leave his rival a car's width on the outside of the track. Rules state drivers have to leave this gap and the German could be heard venting his frustration over the team radio saying, 'where the hell else was I supposed to go? I had grass on my wheels.
The German crossed the line in first after the 70-lap race but was handed a five-second time penalty for squeezing his rival towards the wall on Lap 48 - a call he feels was wrong by the stewards.
And after storming off - refusing to park his car in the positions allocated to those on the podium - Vettel emerged to swap the No 1 and No 2 signs as he continued to show his annoyance at the result.
EDITOR’S NOTE: Although I was pulling for Vettel to win, he should have allowed Hamilton to pass him once he had left the paved roadway.
