Lights Out: Vettel & Hamilton 'old enough' not to bicker
The fallout from the first Grand Prix of the season in Melbourne continues to be felt as teams and drivers reflect on their success, or lack of it, on Sunday. Sebastian Vettel thinks he and Lewis Hamilton are "old enough" not to bicker, while F1 is missing one "vital ingredient." It's lights out for Wednesday morning!
MUST READ
Vettel and Hamilton were already sending verbal jabs to one another even as early as before the first race in Australia. The German reckons the duo are calm, though, and thinks they are "old enough" not to behave like bickering toddlers. Nobody is too old for that...
The 2017 world champion says his crew behind the scenes are yet to explain to him why a software glitch cost him the race against Ferrari and Vettel, saying he "doesn't fully understand" why he didn't claim the flag.
Could it be the fault of Valtteri Bottas? Hamilton believes he was left two versus one against Ferrari.
Ross Brawn couldn't pretend that the Australian Grand Prix was one of F1's more thrilling curtain-raisers. He believes that one "vital ingredient" is missing to make the action more entertaining, and we couldn't agree more.
In what is the most uplifting story of yesterday, Billy 'Whizz' Monger has been confirmed as making his comeback behind the wheel competitively this weekend following an accident last year which cost him the lower part of both legs. A miraculous return for the 18-year old.
Another driver who is looking to complete a comeback from serious injury is Robert Kubica of Williams. The Pole is the current reserve driver for the team, and refused to be pulled into a debate about whether he could return as early as this season due to the awful start at Melbourne for Lance Stroll and Sergey Sirotkin.
Kimi Raikkonen, Bottas, and Sergio Perez are all battling for a new contract this year. How did they do in the first race of the season? We take a look.
