Sebastian Vettel has responded to his early outburst on the Red Bull Ring. The German wanted to make up for places on Sunday afternoon, but a touché with his teammate Charles Leclerc prevented that. Vettel hated the double DNF for Ferrari.

"I expected Charles to try something. I don't think there was any space. Obviously a big pity. It is something we should avoid, but there was not much I could have done differentially. I was taken it easy and conservative, because it is very tight," said Vettel at Sky Sports.
