Ferrari not backing Sebastian Vettel's Daniil Kvyat rebuke

Sebastian Vettel's bosses did not rally around the German after he pointed an angry finger at rival Daniil Kvyat in China.

Sebastian Vettel's Ferrari bosses did not rally around the German after he pointed an angry finger at rival Daniil Kvyat in China.

Vettel was furious that Red Bull youngster Kvyat's first-corner charge had resulted in him needing to jink left and crash into the sister red car of Kimi Raikkonen.

Vettel apologised to the team on the radio and to Raikkonen in person, but publicly fumed at Russian Kvyat just before walking onto the podium.

Ferrari team boss Maurizio Arrivabene, however, did not like the pointing of fingers.

"We should not point the finger at others," he is quoted as saying by Bild. "This is racing, not Monopoly. But if your two drivers crash into one another, that's never good.

"Kvyat came into the corner at high speed," Arrivabene is also quoted as saying by the Italian media, "but Seb and Kimi would have done the same in his position."

The season continues with the Russian Grand Prix on May 1.
