Sebastian Vettel: Ferrari driver to face no further punishment after Azerbaijan GP collision (BREAKING NEWS)

Sebastian Vettel will face no further action after his collision with Lewis Hamilton at the Azerbaijan Grand Prix.

Formula 1's governing body, the FIA, met Vettel and Ferrari team principal Maurizio Arrivabene in Paris on Monday.

The four-time champion admitted full responsibility for the incident, which happened during the race in Baku on 25 June, and escaped further punishment.

Vettel "has extended his sincere apologies to the FIA and the wider motorsport family", the FIA said.

Championship leader Vettel drove into the back of Hamilton's Mercedes car before one of three restarts in a chaotic race.

The German, 29, was given a 10 second stop-and-go penalty during the race after being found guilty of dangerous driving.

But he still finished a place ahead of Hamilton in fourth, extending his championship lead to 14 points.
