Less than 24 hours after finishing fifth in the German Grand Prix, Sebastian Vettel was back behind the wheel of a Formula One car on Monday as Pirelli's preparations for 2017 began.

With wider tyres set to be introduced alongside major bodywork changes next year, Pirelli needs all the information it can get to prepare for F1's season of change, with Ferrari, Red Bull and Mercedes providing modified cars to aid the data-gathering process.

And Vettel became the first driver to sample the 2017-style tyres on Monday, when he completed a number of laps at Ferrari's Fiorano circuit.

While Vettel was trundling around the Italian track, Lewis Hamilton was probably still recovering from the celebrations of his victory in the German GP.

The three-time world champion's sixth win in seven races has seen him extend his points advantage over Mercedes team-mate Nico Rosberg to 19 with nine races remaining, but Hamilton has insisted he still doesn't feel he has full control of this year's title battle.

Having thrown away a 43-point lead, meanwhile, Rosberg won't exactly feel in control either, and his recent misery continued at Hockenheim, where he failed to finish on the podium despite starting from pole position.

A five-second time penalty for forcing Max Verstappen off track left Rosberg with no option but to settle for a fourth-place finish, and the German has questioned the FIA stewards' decision to punish him for what he felt was one of the best overtaking moves of 2016.

Verstappen held off a late challenge from Rosberg to secure his third podium finish in the last four races, with Red Bull praising the teenager and team-mate Daniel Ricciardo for working together to defeat the Mercedes driver.

Closing our post-German GP roundup is Fernando Alonso, who has aired his frustrations after McLaren-Honda's fuel-saving problems saw him miss out on a top-10 finish at Hockenheim.
