Sebastian Vettel’s appearance on an iconic American talkshow went awry this week when David Letterman started talking about ‘DRS’.<\/p>\n
Letterman, the Indianapolis-born motor racing fan and Indycar team co-owner, began talking to the 24-year-old German and his ‘Late Show’ audience about F1’s drag-reduction system.<\/p>\n
“Complicated stuff,” Vettel smirked as he explained the mechanics of the rear-wing overtaking flap.<\/p>\n
Letterman then turned the conversation to the ‘DRS’ zones on the circuit, and the system’s activation.<\/p>\n
Vettel intervened: “Now you make it really complicated,” he grinned.\u00a0 “The people here have no f***ing idea what you’re talking about.”<\/p>\n
Producers not only had to bleep the swear word, Vettel’s mouth was also blurred.<\/p>\n
Realising his mistake, the Red Bull driver put his hand over his mouth and smiled: “Sorry.”<\/p>\n
But he let slip yet again when Letterman asked about New Jersey’s 2013 street layout, which Vettel had sampled in an Infiniti road car earlier on Monday.<\/p>\n
“It (the layout) looks very quick.\u00a0 You need some big balls I think,” he grinned again, gesticulating towards his jeans.<\/p>\n
When Vettel began speaking again, Letterman joked: “Just don’t do that again, alright?<\/p>\n
“I’m just glad Oprah doesn’t have a show …”<\/p>\n
