Vettel team radio during crash with Leclerc: "What the hell is he doing?"

14:42, 18 Nov 2019

Sebastian Vettel and Charles Leclerc collided on track during the Brazilian Grand Prix. As a result of the contact, both Ferrari drivers were out of the Formula 1 race. During the crash, the German can be heard asking "what the hell is he doing?" on his team radio.

The double DNF means that Vettel can no longer finish third in the world championship and looks likely to finish behind Leclerc. Max Verstappen, who won the race, moves ahead of Leclerc in the standings with just one race remaining.
