F1: Ferrari not to be blamed for tyre blow-out during Belgian Grand Prix,says Sebastian Vettel


Sebastian Vettel insists his Ferrari team should not be held accountable for the puncture he suffered in Sunday’s Belgian Grand Prix.

Vettel was incandescent after the race following a penultimate lap tyre blow-out on the Kemmel Straight. Vettel claimed he could have been killed had the tyre failure occurred moments earlier through Eau Rouge.

Vettel cancelled his print media commitments after the race, but, in a statement released via his website on Tuesday evening, the four-time world champion backed his team and pinned the blame firmly on Pirelli.

“Just to make things clear the team and I decided our strategy for the race together,” said Vettel, who was the only driver to attempt a one-stop strategy in Sunday’s race at Spa-Francorchamps.
