What potential sanctions is Vettel facing?

Sebastian Vettel was handed a ten-second stop-and-go penalty by the race stewards for deliberately banging wheels with Lewis Hamilton just prior to the second restart of the race.

If on Monday the FIA comes to the conclusion that the penalty imposed on Vettel was too lenient given the gravity of his actions, the FIA International Tribunal – composed of a panel of 36 independent judges – could take further action.

There are several possible penalties the current championship leader could be given, which we detail in this article.
