Lewis Hamilton ‘like’ stokes the flames of rivalry with Sebastian Vettel

Lewis Hamilton has stoked the flames of his rivalry with Sebastian Vettel by appearing to endorse a social media post which criticises the German and Formula One’s governing body.

Vettel, 30, escaped further punishment from the FIA on Monday after he accepted full responsibility for causing a deliberate collision with Hamilton at the Azerbaijan Grand Prix.

The four-time champion also issued an apology to the Englishman via a statement which he released on his personal website.
