I'm so sorry to the team and Kubica - Vettel
Red Bull Racing F1 Team driver Sebastian Vettel has apologised to his team and BMW Sauber F1 Team driver Robert Kubica for the accident three laps before the end of the race. Vettel, running in second position, didn't want to let Kubica get passed and the two had a collision which ended both drivers race.
Sebastian Vettel said: "We were in second and a strong position, but then, a couple of laps from the end, I had a stupid racing accident with Robert Kubica. At the time I turned in I was ahead, but I couldn't keep up speed in the corner and Robert was on a harder tyre, so was much quicker. At the time we collided he was in front, but I had no where to go, I couldn't stop the car, or turn to the right and my tyres were gone. It's a shame as it meant the end of the race for both of us. Should I have let him go? You always want to fight. Maybe I should have said let him go and bring third back home, but that's life. I tried to defend and, up to the mid-corner, I had reason, but then I had no grip to avoid a collision. I'm sorry to the team and also to Robert, as it didn't just mean the end of my race, but also his."
