SUZUKA, Japan -- Max Verstappen says Sebastian Vettel ought to be "more careful" after the Ferrari driver botched an attempted overtake and the pair collided early on in the Japanese Grand Prix.
On lap eight at Suzuka, Vettel attempted a move down the inside of Verstappen on the entry into Spoon Curve but he quickly ran out of track and careered into the side of the Red Bull. The contact saw Vettel spin off the track where he had to wait for the entire field to pass before re-joining in last place.
While the stewards deemed it to only be a racing incident, Vettel was critical of Verstappen, saying he once again over-defended.
