Road-rage is not contained to the motorways it would seem. Even Formula One world champion Sebastian Vettel is susceptible to the occasional burst of anger on the track after calling one of the back markers of the F1 pack an "idiot". He didn't reference Narain Karthikeyan directly but it was apparent who the German was talking about after an incident between the two cost Vettel big points at the Malaysian Grand Prix.Karthikeyan responded by calling front runners "bullies" when they lap other cars. I know his feeling when you have drivers filling your mirrors despite driving at the prescribed speed limit. But this post isn't a rant on the road!
Back markers have their place on the Formula One grid and earn the right to take part in the race itself, if they qualify within 107% of the man on pole. The HRT of Karthikeyan was even running as high as tenth in Sepang before rain halted the race. The Indian wouldn't have even been running as far back as he was, if it wasn't for Jenson Button running into the back of him when challenging for 15th earlier in the race.
Vettel needs to stop finding excuses for the disappointing start to his and Red Bull's season and concentrate on producing the skill that brought him back-to-back world championships.
