SAO PAULO, Brazil -- Sebastian Vettel supports his teams decision to press ahead with its appeal over his penalty at the Mexican Grand Prix.Vettel was demoted from third to fifth in Mexico after being penalised for dangerous driving while defending position from Red Bulls Daniel Ricciardo on the penultimate lap. Ferrari asked for the decision to be reviewed based on new evidence this weekend, but when the review was rejected by the FIA the Italian team launched an appeal.The appeal could see the incident dragged out in the FIAs International Court of Appeal, but Vettel stands by his teams persistence on the matter.Of course I support it, he said. We are not happy with the decision that was taken and feel differently about it, but for now the focus is on this race. There is not much more to add. We dont feel that the penalty is justified and that is why there are consequences.Unsurprisingly, Ricciardo, who was promoted to the podium by Vettels penalty, sees the lengthily appeal differently.For me it should be that after Sunday night, whatever happens, whatever way it goes, it should be done and that is that, he said. At first I thought it was because they were trying to reopen the thing with our move, but I heard it was maybe what Max [Verstappen] was doing by bringing him towards us. I dont know. I would have just said its done, that is it.There is the fight for the constructors [title], and every point matters, so from that point of view you can see why they want to keep trying to get those points back, but I think after Sunday is done, once midnight ticks, the next day move on.Cheap NBA Jerseys .

I dont know if I can quantify how far off or things like that that they might be but I would say we continue to have dialogue. Cheap Nike Basketball Jerseys .
