Sebastian Vettel: Ocon overtake required 'full risk'

Sebastian Vettel says his overtaking move on Esteban Ocon in the closing stages of the Canadian Grand Prix required a big risk but dismissed Ocon's suggestion it was unfair.

After making an early pit stop for a broken front wing, Vettel battled back from last place to fourth over the course of the race. He claimed the last two positions from Ocon and his Force India teammate Sergio Perez and both passes required bold moves under braking.

With Ocon, he benefitted from the Force India teammates battling between themselves at the final chicane and then launched his Ferrari up the inside on the entry to Turn 1 at the start of the following lap.
