\"sebastian-vettelwinsMalaysianSepang: Red Bull’s Sebastian Vettel<\/strong> edged past teammate Mark Webber<\/strong> in a scintillating battle to win the Malaysian Grand Prix<\/strong> at Sepang International circuit on Sunday. Meanwhile 2008 champion Lewis Hamilton came third ahead of his Mercedes teammate Nico Rosberg.Ferrari’s<\/p>\n

Felipe Massa finished fifth, stealing the limelight from Fernando Alonso after the two-time world champion went out on the second lap with a collapsed front wing. Nico Hulkenberg, Sergio Perez and Jean-Eric Vergne rounded out the top 10 while McLaren’s Jenson Button was a late retirement.\n<\/p>\n

However Vettel<\/strong> said he wasn’t happy about the win and he put himself above the team decision. \u201cI messed up today. I would love to come up with a nice excuse as to why I did it, but I can\u2019t. I can understand Mark\u2019s frustration and the team not being happy with what I did today; I owe an explanation to him and the whole team. I will try to explain to them later. We talk about this situation happening many times and what we will do if and when it happens and normally it doesn\u2019t, but today it did and I should have translated the call into action,\u201d said Vettel, adding that he got the call and he ignored it.<\/p>\n

\u201cMark and I are used to fighting each other when we\u2019re close, but with the tyres how they are now, and not knowing how long they will last, it was an extremely big risk to ignore the call to stay second. We could have ended up finishing eighth or ninth after destroying the tyres in those two laps; I put myself above a team decision, which was wrong. I didn\u2019t mean to and I apologise. I\u2019m not happy I\u2019ve won, I made a mistake and if I could undo it I would. It\u2019s not easy right now and I owe apologies to Mark and the team,\u201d said the champion.<\/p>\n

Meanwhile Webber<\/strong>, who finished second, said, \u201cI think Sebastian has respect for me and I have respect for him, but the situation today was not handled well. It\u2019s hard to put your finger on it all now after the race; when we\u2019re racing on the limit and pushing as hard as we can, then it\u2019s the worst situation for a team. I am sure they are bricking themselves and know that things can go wrong. There\u2019s a bit of history to this as well; my mind in the last 15 laps was thinking about a lot of things, but I was happy with the way I drove. I tried to isolate what happened at the end and we got something out of it today, but of course I\u2019m not satisfied with the result. This puts heat on a few people and unfortunately there\u2019s no rewind button. I know people want raw emotion from us after these situations and it\u2019s there, but we need to remain cool. There\u2019s three weeks until the next race, so time for us to work on things.\u201d<\/p>\n

Team Principal Christian Horner<\/strong> said: \u201cBefore getting into anything else, it was a phenomenal team performance from the car and pit crew today with the pit crew recording fantastically fast stops. We recorded our fastest ever time on Mark\u2019s second stop, which is possibly a new best-ever in the pit lane. Obviously there\u2019s an awful lot of debate about what happened at the end of the race. Our position after that finial pit stop was all about managing the race until the end and conserving our tyres, getting the cars to the finish and achieving maximum points. Unfortunately drivers\u2019 interests can sometimes come into conflict with the teams\u2019. Sebastian decided to take things into his own hands today and race Mark, thankfully making a clean pass and switching the order to the flag. It\u2019s frustrating. Formula One is both a team and an individual sport and sometimes there is a conflict between a driver\u2019s desire and a team\u2019s interest. What happened today is something that shouldn\u2019t have happened. It\u2019s something that Sebastian has apologised for and it\u2019s something that we will discuss internally as a team.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
