Ecclestone: “The Vettel case is a joke”

The overtaking of Sebastian Vettel? A joke. This is how the boss of the Formula 1 Bernie Ecclestone defines the story involving world champion Sebastian Vettel, guilty of overtaking Jean-Eric Vergne on the occasion of Brazilian GP under yellow flag regime.

La Ferrari has made it known through its official website that it wants clarification, but the FIA ​​still throws water on the fire of controversy by replying that there is no case and that the green flag had appeared before the driver overtook Red Bull.

“It's a shame about the controversy, everything went so well. It was a great race, as was the championship, but now that's all we're talking about. The problem is that no one knows what's happening.", Ecclestone told the Telegraph.

“I think Ferrari doesn't want to create controversy. Nothing will happen, also because Ferrari had plenty of time in Brazil to protest and now doesn't seem like the right time to do so – he continued -. Then there's the fact that the green flag was shown, so there's no controversy - it's just a joke. There is no need to act in any way because it would be completely and absolutely wrong."he concluded.
