The apology

Although it was a late apology by Vettel, it seemed to work for the better. Vettel took full responsibility for his actions due to the intentional swerve on Hamilton during the Baku Grand Prix. The apology was meant to deter the FIA from punishing the Ferrari Formula 1 racer further through sanctions for future racing events. The punishment Vettel got, 10 seconds time on the track, was a slap on the wrist. The FIA were on the spot for not taking stern actions that would make any other racer think twice about doing the same.

However, the much-awaited verdict did not bear any fruits as they decided to leave it at that and not take any further action.

Mercedes vs. Ferrari

They are the two most respected and successful motor racing brands in Formula 1. It could be because they have the

best racers, which are currently in a great rivalry. The rival brands have their hand full with both Hamilton and Vettel representing their brands respectively. With the recently heightened rivalry between the two, it will not affect the relationship between the two brands.
