MONTRÉAL—Following his controversial penalty Sunday, Sebastian Vettel stormed into FIA race control to make an attempt at appealing the decision. He did not expect what he found in the small office.

Anonymous sources at the scene tell us that Vettel came upon all of the stewards huffing Ferrari’s race fuel from drenched tube socks.

Sources say that when confronted with their abuse of the fuel, the stewards explained they were only attempting to confirm Christian Horner’s claims of it smelling like grapefruit.

Vettel, apparently stunned and frustrated by the scene spent little time in the office, instead leaving to have his team handle the situation.

The controversial penalty came after the Ferrari driver took pole at the grand prix, and the Ferrari pit wall removed their strategy-determining dart board.

The stewards defended themselves by saying they wanted to have competitive racing, but also owed it to the fans to, “Give good drama to the Netflix series, and subvert expectations.”

The penalty came as good news to Mercedes, who have been dominating the season despite a vastly inferior car.

  • I read an article on my phone today, so of course I can't find it, but claimed half the paddock or more are mad at Pirelli for changing the compound of the tires because they claim if favors Mercedes style of driving. The Ferrari team pointed out the testing done after Barcelona between Mercedes and Pirelli last year for compounds and depths for this seasons tires. The blurb said that it won't be addressed, but that the tires will be reevaluated and if needed reformulated for next season. No idea how true it is, but at least Haas racing threw Pirelli u der the bus this weekend at the end of Canada. Magnusons comments about the worst car ever were not about the car, it was the tires. He claimed that they have a fast car and so do a lot of others, but the race tires slow them down by not coming to temp and staying there. Merc doesn't have that problem because of the way they drive. Interesting stuff if true
