Sebastian Vettel: ‘I was on the podium against my will’

Sebastian Vettel has admitted he didn't want to join in with the podium celebrations, but felt he had to out of respect for his rivals and team-mate.

The Ferrari driver crossed the line in first place but was demoted to second with the addition of a five-second time penalty after he cut across the grass and re-joined the track in an "unsafe manner", which forced Lewis Hamilton to take action to avoid a collision.

Hamilton took the victory as a result of the time penalty and Vettel was clearly unhappy, accusing the stewards of being "blind" and insists he had nowhere to go.

Immediately after the race finish, Vettel parked his car at the start of the pitlane – not at the end where the podium is – and stormed off into the Ferrari motorhome whilst Hamilton celebrated the win.

Vettel had to be persuaded to return to the podium – but before doing so he switched the #1 and #2 boards around – and admitted he only took part out of respect.

"I didn’t want to join in with anything," he said. "I was angry and disappointed, I think everyone understands why, but I think it’s respect to show to Lewis and Charles [Leclerc] and the representative from Mercedes to be part of the podium.

"Certainly it’s not the place I wanted to be, at that point I wanted to get out, being there is not of my free will but I had to be there."

Vettel remained on the podium during the celebrations and stuck around for the driver interviews with former driver Martin Brundle.
