Vettel finds Hockenheim crash funny
Sebastian Vettel says he has learned to laugh at the crash at last year's German Grand Prix which came to characterise his defeat to Lewis Hamilton in the title race.
Vettel skidded into the gravel from the lead of his home race, with Hamilton taking the win, having started 14th on the grid.
The German had entered the race with the championship lead, having beaten Hamilton at his own home race at Silverstone, but the Mercedes star would not relinquish P1 for the remainder of the season.
Vettel was clearly emotional in the moment of the incident, but says his view has since softened and he is able to appreciate his own efforts across the whole weekend.
"Overall I am more looking forward than looking back," Vettel told BBC Sport. "So it is not that I am occupied by what happened last year.
