Sebastian Vettel vented his anger at Daniil Kvyat before going on the podium following the Chinese Grand Prix.
The Ferrari driver had complained about Kvyat's move at Turn 1 at the start of the race over team radio having swerved to the left and hit team-mate Kimi Raikkonen. Despite seeming more calm following the end of the race as he apologised to Ferrari over the radio, Vettel - who finished second - then confronted third-placed Kvyat in the drivers' room.
Read the full transcript of the exchange below:
Kvyat: “What happened at the start?”
Vettel: [shouting] “You, asking what happened at the start!? If I don’t go to the left you crash into us and we all three go into us.”
Kvyat: “Well…”
Vettel: “No well, you came like a torpedo.”
Kvyat: [Laughing] “I was racing.”
Vettel: “Yeah racing, but if I keep going the same line, we crash.”
Kvyat: “Well keep going…”
Vettel: “Well there was a car on the left also, that’s why…”
Kvyat: “Oh yeah I can see all the three cars, man, come on! I have only two eyes, two cars.”
Vettel: “We crash if you do that.”
Kvyat: “Well we didn’t.”
Vettel: “No, you didn’t! I know it’s racing but you need to attack like a crazy you can damage the car … You were lucky this time. There was damage to Kimi.”
Kvyat: “I am on the podium, so it’s OK, you are on the podium.”
