Is Vettel heading to the FIA's International Tribunal?

Sebastian Vettel's 10-second stop-and-go and penalty points may not have been the full extent of the punishment lowered upon the German following his Baku antics.

Germany's Auto, Motor und Sport is reporting that FIA President Jean Todt could be seeking further investigation into Vettel's on-track clash with Lewis Hamilton on Sunday, and perhaps additional disciplinary action.

As a reminder, Vettel's colorful radio tirade during last year's Mexican Grand Prix, when he took personal aim at race director Charlie Whiting, landed the Ferrari driver in hot water but ultimately he received only a warning from the FIA.

Todt may not feel inclined to show as much leniency this time around however.

Under Article 151C of the International Sporting Code, the governing body could haul Vettel in front of its tribunal, if he is deemed to have brought the sport into disrepute.

It's more likely however that the FIA will ask Vettel to publicly recognize he was at fault last Sunday when he pulled up alongside Lewis Hamilton and rammed the side of the Mercedes.

Vettel is also now just three penalty points away from receiving a proper race ban, a marginal state of affairs which will justify the German keeping his temper in check next week in Austria.
