Scuderia Ferrari has been summoned to a meeting at Paul Ricard on Friday, to talk about the team's request to review Sebastian Vettel's five-second and race-defining penalty in Canada.

On Monday, the news broke that Ferrari had asked the FIA to review the decision the stewards made to penalise Vettel after re-entering the track in an "unsafe manner".

Lewis Hamilton was awarded with the victory in Montreal, despite Vettel dominating the race from start to finish and even reaching the chequered flag before his title rival.

On Friday, Ferrari representatives will meet the stewards from the Canadian Grand Prix to discuss the matter. Vettel was also handed two points on his licence.

After Ferrari sent its official request for a review, the Canadian Grand Prix stewards of Emanuele Pirro, Gerd Ennser, Mathieu Remmerie and Mike Kaerne, called the Italian team's representatives to the hearing at Paul Ricard.

The stewards for the upcoming race in France are completely different to the ones who were at the centre of controversy in Canada.
