Sebastian Vettel says he has noth𝓀ing to be ashamed of following his spat with Narain Karthikeyan after the Malaysian Grand Prix.

Vettel hit out at th꧒e HRT driver 🍸after contact between the pair in the closing stages of the race at Sepang left the defending champion outside the points in eleventh place - meaning he failed to score having finished a race for the first time since Spa 2010.

Having referred to Karthikeyan as an 'idiot' in a post-race interview with the BBC,෴ Vettel was then described by the Indian driver as a 'cry baby' - although the HRT man has since said he feels ♍the matter is now behind him.

Vettel however has shown no remorse for his outburt, insisting i♉t was part of the emotion of seeing an opportuni⛄ty to score points be lost.

"I lost a solid fourth place, so that's obviously disappointing," he told Bild. Someဣtimes you let some emotion show, anᩚᩚᩚᩚᩚᩚ⁤⁤⁤⁤ᩚ⁤⁤⁤⁤ᩚ⁤⁤⁤⁤ᩚ𒀱ᩚᩚᩚd I don't think someone should be ashamed about that."
