F1: Strategy was never risky; team not to blame argues Vettel
Sebastian Vettel has broken his silence after Sunday's Belgian GP by underlining that he backed Ferrari's one-stop strategy at Spa.
Vettel only spoke briefly to TV camera crews after the race, and not to print media, before dashing to the local airport – supposedly to beat an incoming storm. However, his TV comments revealed just how angry he was.
He has now reiterated Ferrari didn't take a risk by running a one-stopper and a long final stint.
In a statement in German on his website he said: “Just to make it clear, the team and I jointly decided on this strategy. I stand behind the team and the team is behind me. That makes us a team. The strategy was at no time risky. The team is not to blame.”
