Vettel's heated post-race exchange with Kvyat

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.”
