Predictions
Background
Ferrari are considering an appeal against an over-taking manoeuvre by Sebastian Vettel at Sunday's chaotic Brazilian Grand Prix which could see the German stripped of his title, it was reported Wednesday.
The Daily Mail claimed that YouTube footage appeared to show Vettel, the youngest triple world champion in Formula One history, overtaking Toro Rosso's Jean-Eric Vergne under yellow flags in the early laps of the rain-affected race at Interlagos.
Overtaking under caution is outlawed and is usually punished with a drive-through penalty.
However, in cases where the infringement is not spotted, the newspaper claimed, the sanction is a 20-second penalty handed out retrospectively.
Vettel was sixth in Sunday's season-ending race while double world champion Fernando Alonso was second in his Ferrari behind winner, McLaren's Jenson Button.
The result allowed Vettel to beat Alonso in the title race by just three points.
