MONTREAL (Reuters) - Ferrari intend to appeal the time penalty that cost Sebastian Vettel victory in Sunday's Canadian Grand Prix, the Formula One team said.

Vettel was handed a five-second penalty for rejoining the track in an unsafe manner, the German's error forcing Mercedes rival Lewis Hamilton to take evasive action on lap 48.
