    F1 News - F1 Azerbaijan GP: Vettel: We need to race as grown-ups


    Speaking immediately after the race, Vettel appeared to dismiss he'd run into Hamilton intentionally after their initial clash and felt both he and Hamilton needed to show maturity to discuss the issue before moving on in Austria in two weeks time.

    “I think Formula 1 is for grown-ups,” Vettel said. “As I said before the manoeuvre before was not necessary which damaged my front wing, and damaged his rear a little bit, so I think it was not the right way to do it exiting the corner.

    “We are here to race and we are all grown-ups. People expect us to race and use our elbows, that is what people want."

    "I think here and there it might get a bit close but people want real overtaking not just us going past so after that I had a handful of passes. I enjoyed the race but I don't think it was right that I got a penalty and he didn't.”

    Hamilton feels Vettel must become a better example to younger drivers aspiring to reach the heights of F1 as the pair are seen as leading lights with seven world titles between them.

    Vettel says he will call Hamilton to talk about the incident, while Hamilton has joked the German driver doesn't have his number, as tensions boil over after a relatively amicable rivalry between the pair in the hunt for the 2017 F1 world title.

    +1 if they both left today not a tear shed. The podium in Baku was refreshing compared to LH - Nico or the potential LH - Vettel that didnt happen. Well said!
