F1 driver Narain Karthikeyan gives harsh words to Sebastian Vettel.
India’s Narain told the Formula One champion not to act like a ‘cry baby’ following a row in which Vettel called him a ‘cucumber’ for causing a collision at the Malaysian Grand Prix.
The 24-year-old German, now sixth overall, finished 11th at Sepang, but it didn’t wane his anger at the HRT driver.
But despite team boss Christian Horner accusing him of “brain fade” and the insult from Vettle, Narain kept his cool.
He said, “For a world champion to say things like that is really shameful,” Karthikeyan told Indian newspaper. “It is really unprofessional.
”For a driver who has achieved so much to take out his frustrations on me just because he is having a difficult year is really sad. One does not expect a professional sportsman to be such a cry baby.”
Stewards made the decision that the Indian had caused the collision and gave him a drive-through penalty, adding 20 seconds to his race time.
However, Karthikeyan said that his side of the story was ignored.
“They didn’t care about what I had to say because Mr Vettel told them God knows what when he went and talked to them,” he said.
