Niki Lauda has slammed Sebastian Vettel for “screaming like a child” during the British grand prix.<\/p>\n
The Mercedes team chairman said he enjoyed every moment of the on-track battle for mere points placings between champions Vettel and Fernando Alonso.<\/p>\n
But, throughout, the pair complained loudly and repeatedly to their pit crews about ‘track limits’ — arguing that their respective tactics were contrary to the rules of battle.<\/p>\n
Lauda, a triple world champion and F1 legend, could not hide his disdain.<\/p>\n
“I do not understand Vettel and his screaming like a small, startled child,” he is quoted by the German newspaper Bild.<\/p>\n
“This was two top drivers and top racing, which is what the audience wants to see.<\/p>\n
“I am pushing Bernie Ecclestone so that the drivers can once again drive with more freedom and not be punished for every little thing.\u00a0 I’m fighting for better racing,” Lauda insisted.<\/p>\n
