"I felt somewhat sorry to be straightforward for him since I felt he drove truly well, particularly before the last restart he was speedier than us, more steady," Vettel told Ziggo. "He dealt with his race well, I could perceive what he was doing.
"It will desire him yet... helpless soul! I think he truly merited the point today. I feel somewhat upset for him since he battled his way up to the focuses and didn't get the outcome he merited."
Russell reacted to a video of the Vettel meet with another tweet, saying: "Value it Seb"
