During the 2017 Azerbaijan Grand Prix, tensions between Sebastian Vettel and Lewis Hamilton escalated dramatically. The race took an unexpected turn when Vettel, believing that Hamilton had deliberately “brake-tested” him during a safety car period, hit the back of Hamilton’s car. In a burst of frustration, Vettel then pulled alongside and made contact with Hamilton.
The incident sparked widespread debate, with Vettel receiving a 10-second stop-go penalty but insisting that Hamilton had intentionally slowed down, provoking his reaction. Hamilton, however, denied any wrongdoing, labeling Vettel’s actions as reckless and dangerous.
Both drivers finished the race, with Hamilton placing fifth and Vettel fourth, but the confrontation overshadowed the event. The clash intensified their rivalry, becoming one of the most memorable and controversial moments of the 2017 season.
