'This is the wrong world': Vettel fumes at costly penalty

Sebastian Vettel blasted race stewards who imposed a five-second penalty on the Ferrari driver that cost him victory in Sunday's Canadian Grand Prix, accusing them of "stealing the race" from his team.

Championship leader Lewis Hamilton was declared the race winner after Vettel was penalised for squeezing his rival off track as he rejoined during a high-speed incident on lap 50.

The stewards judged that the Ferrari driver had made an unsafe re-entry and forced Hamilton off the circuit when he rejoined after running off across a strip of grass at the first chicane.

"Where could I go?" said an angry Vettel on team radio. "I had nowhere to go... They are stealing the race from us... This is the wrong world. This is not fair."
"Seeing them cheer me on... It was very intense. I think you should ask the pit wall what they think, but we had a great show -- and Lewis showed some good respect."
"All I can say is that I didn't make the decision," he explained. "So I don't know what they're booing at."
"People shouldn't boo at Lewis," he said. "It wasn't his intention to be in harm's way. So, people shouldn't boo at him. They should boo at those who make the decisions."
- 'Not the way I wanted' -
==========================
"But that's not the way I wanted to win. I forced him into an error and he went wide and we nearly collided. It's unfortunate, but this is racing."
Told that Vettel felt the stewards' verdict was unfair, Hamilton responded: "That's his opinion, of course!
"I took the corner normally and, when you come back on the track, you're not supposed to go on to the racing line."
Hamilton added: "That's not the way I wanted to win, but I would have been past. Physically, I am destroyed. It was such a tough race."
"It is not making our sport popular. People want to see us race and it was racing. It is just a shame when we have these funny decisions."
