The Ferrari driver messed up with a mistake and the Chance to win the Grand Prix of Canada. Then the German about the injustice of the racing Stewards, complaining is ultimately to blame.
“Not so! Not so! You must be totally blind!”, scolded Sebastian Vettel after the race in Montreal over the radio and said to the racing Stewards, who had him installed in his eyes, the Chance of a deserved victory. While Vettel was in its misery far from innocent: In the 48. Round under a stupid driving delivery of the four-time world champion error. Directly in front of pursuers Lewis Hamilton in the lead, came in a Chicane on the track, had to Dodge to the Meadow, and drove directly in front of the British back on the road. Just because the Briton braked sharply, it was not an accident. A little later Vettel got the receipt: A Five-second time penalty for obstruction. A comprehensive assessment that could not see Vettel so at all. “They steal us the race!”, he had complained directly after the announcement of the punishment of the track.
Vettel to switch places
“Where should I get the the hell?”, he continued to the end of his radio rant. “That’s not fair. I had Grass on the tires and not had luck, that I’m in the wall.” Vettel was so angry that he went to the cool-down lap to top it all in the pit lane and also at the scale over on the race car and Pilot in the rules, must be weighed, if there is to be no further punishment. All alone and completely mad Vettel had to push his car alone back again, certainly nothing reduced his bad mood.
After that, he was gone first of all: No, congratulations to the rivals, no Interviews – Vettel moved in a pointed response to the Ferrari Motorhome to get a little rest. First to the awards ceremony – is also a must for the top three – he showed up again. However, not without the panels on which the rankings are, in front of the parked race car to be replaced. The “2” that actually belonged to him, he turned in front of Hamilton’s Mercedes.
Then: Absence Of Words. Although Vettel congratulated his rival in the waiting room behind the balcony with the podium, but was hardly spoken. The Ferrari driver Vettel and Charles Leclerc, who was in third place, sat in one corner, Hamilton in the other.
At the end of small according to: “Lewis was full”
The Briton had proved – unlike the poor loser Vettel in the success of size. “That was not the way I wanted to win,” he said directly after the finish in the direction of his pit crew. “I would prefer to be driven past him.” In the winner Interview, he admitted that Vettel was too fast and the Ferrari is too good. Also, for the emotions of Vettel’s, he had the understanding: “That’s his opinion. This is also normal,” said Hamilton. “I went to the curve normal. But if you leave the track, you should not go simply directly on the track.”
The a is facilitated, the other frustrated: Lewis hamilton (R) and Sebastian Vettel (left)
In the case of Vettel, it took a little while for this realization seemed to slowly begin to well up. So a couple of sensible sentences out of his mouth came only at the end, finally: “I don’t know why people Boo here. The people should not Boo Lewis. If, then, we should Boo this strange decision,” said Vettel after the award ceremony, at the Hamilton with him on the top step of the podium was pulled out. The decision of the Stewards, he didn’t want to comment, but was almost in a small voice, perhaps, because it has now dawned on that he had covered. “I think I have said enough,” said Vettel, and added still. “Lewis was very respectful.”
