After a meeting with FIA officials led by president Jean Todt, including Ferrari team principal Maurizio Arrivabene, Sebastian Vettel has issued an apology for his action during the ‘road rage’ incident during the Azerbaijan Grand Prix.
He wrote, “Concerning the incidents of Baku I’d like to explain myself: During the re-start lap, I got surprised by Lewis and ran into the back of his car. With hindsight, I don’t believe he had any bad intentions.
“In the heat of the action I then overreacted, and therefore I want to apologise to Lewis directly, as well as to all the people who were watching the race. I realize that I was not setting a good example. I had no intention at anytime to put Lewis in danger, but I understand that I caused a dangerous situation.”
“Therefore, I would like to apologise to the FIA. I accept and respect the decisions that were taken at today’s meeting in Paris, as well as the penalty imposed by the Stewards in Baku.”
“I love this sport and I am determined to represent it in a way that can be an example for future generations,” concluded Vettel’s statement.
