SEBASTIAN Vettel was told to “stop moaning” by Sky Sports commentator Martin Brundle after the German complained about his former teammate Daniel Ricciardo on team radio.

Ricciardo attempted a daring overtaking manoeuvre on lap 59, only to be repelled by Vettel.

“If I don’t avoid that he is just going straight into my car,” Vettel said. “Honestly, what are we doing? Racing or ping pong?”

Brundle’s response was swift: “Stop moaning”.

“I’m tempted to say it is Grand Prix racing, Sebastian,” said Brundle’s commentary partner David Croft. “And he did brilliantly to keep out of the way.”

Brundle concluded: “Stunning driving from the pair of them. That’s what we wanted to see. I don’t know how Ricciardo kept that anywhere near on the road, to be honest, there isn’t really a braking zone in turn one.”
