Three-time F1 World Champion Niki Lauda says someone will get killed if McLaren’s Lewis Hamilton, who tangled with Mark Webber and race winner Jenson Button at the Canadian Grand Prix, is not sanctioned. While Button survived a clash with his teammate to win the best race of his career on a rain-sodden Montreal track and Webber fought back to finish third behind Red Bull team-mate Sebastian Vettel, Hamilton was criticised by the Australian and the furious Austrian.

Lauda described Hamilton as “completely mad” after the race and called on the FIA to punish him for dangerous driving.

“What Hamilton did there goes beyond all boundaries. He is completely mad,” the three-time world champion said. “If the FIA does not punish him, I do not understand the world any more. At some point there has to be an end to all the jokes. You cannot drive like this — as it will result in someone getting killed.”
