Sebastian Vettel has inferred that Max Verstappen played his part in the collision that eliminated the Ferrari driver and com💖promised Nico Rosberg's race at the start of the Malaysian Grand Prix.
The Ferrari🐓 driver made a strong start from fifth place to challenge Max Verstappen on the inside 🔴for third coming into the opening bend, but would find himself on too-tight a line entering the right-hander, Vettel proceeding to clip the unsighted right-rear wheel of Rosberg's Mercedes as the title contender turned into the apex ahead of him.
Leaving Rosberg unimpressed - quipping that he was 't-boned by a four-time world champion - and resulting in Vettel getting a three-place grid penalty for the Japanese Grand Prix, while the German was full of remorse for hampering his countryman, he nonetheless saved some criticism for Verstappen for squeezing him🐼 to the inside in the first place.

"If anything I was braking at the same point as [Verstappen]," he said when asked whether he out-braked himself. "So I was going side-by-side, he was squeezing me down to the inside. I think both of us would make the corner not a problem.
"Obviously Nico decided to do a different line -- he is ahead -- he's got nothing to do with it, he doesn't have to bother with what people are doing behind. I think there's two things that are wrong; first that Nico without any blame, gets turned around and second that I am standing here and the race is still going on."

The incident comes just two races after Vettel engaged in a war-of-words with Verstappen over his driving conduct after lambasting the Dutchman for moving under braking. It is a critique the Ferrari driver suggested played on his mind as he raced alongside Verstappen.
"Well racing him is moving around, I think everybody knows by now. Obviously if you are squeezed to the inside, your angle doesn't get any better for Turn 1.
"It was quite bad the angle, so I was trying to do everything to turn and get the corner, I do get ꦑthe corner no problem, I'm not braking massively too late or at all too late. Nico tries to cut back I guess, to fight Lewis, but at that point we made contact."
