#1 Vettel rams into Hamilton

Azerbaijan F1 Grand Prix
Azerbaijan GP 2017 was one heated race

The 2017 F1 season will be remembered for Hamilton and Vettel finally contending for the world championship against one another after the Briton spent three seasons against his ex-teammate Rosberg.

A rivalry is not complete until both drivers start to show their anger at one another and at last year's Azerbaijan Grand Prix, we saw a very unusual moment that sure spiced up the relationship between Hamilton and Vettel.

While the Mercedes driver was leading the pack behind a safety car, Vettel's Ferrari collided into the back of Hamilton's car.

The German ranted to his colleagues on the radio that Hamilton was 'brake testing' him.

Moments later Vettel drove to the side of Hamilton and rammed into the Briton's car.

The consequence for Vettel was a ten-second penalty which would, later on, deny his chances of victory in the city of Baku.

Hamilton was beyond unhappy with Vettel's actions on the track and let's just say their relationship had changed after that day.
