The Sun is reporting that Vettel has been disqualified from the Azerbaijan grand prix

Can't see the news anywhere else though.

Seems a bit harsh, can't help but feel he's being punished because of Hamilton's problems after the incident. Had Hamilton won the race, they probably would have left it as is.

Of course The Sun might be wrong...
