Vettel didn't block Piquet

Nelson Piquet Jr. is very unhappy after the qualifying session for the German Grand Prix. During Q1, Piquet felt that he was being hold up by Toro Rosso driver Sebastian Vettel. After looking at the footage, the race stewards judged differently.

Nelson Piquet Jr. said: “After a very promising practice session this morning, I am of course disappointed not to have passed through the first stage of qualifying. During my lap, Vettel was in front of me, which unsettled me a little, although the FIA felt that he did not impede me.”

The question remains: how can a driver who clocked the fifth time in that lap, hold up a driver who only set the 17th fastest time in the same lap? Maybe it's time to up your game Mr. Piquet?

Team mate Fernando Alonso made it into Q3 and will start tomorrow's race from 5th position.
