ANALYSIS: Alonso? Vettel? Who is really on Renault's driver shopping list for 2021?

Sebastian Vettel has indicated he has no plans to change his approach at the start of races based on what happened in Singapore, describing the costly crash which eliminated him from the last round as ‘part of racing’.

The Ferrari driver lost major ground in the race for the world title at Marina Bay after clashing with team mate Kimi Raikkonen and Max Verstappen off the line, leaving the door open for rival Lewis Hamilton to win the Grand Prix and extend his championship lead to 28 points.

The stewards ruled that nobody was predominantly to blame for the incident, but Verstappen pointed the finger at Vettel for squeezing him in an attempt to maintain his position.

However, when all three drivers addressed the media ahead of this weekend’s race in Malaysia, Vettel said he was focused on looking ahead, rather than on analysing what had gone before.

“Every start is different, and the way Singapore happened you can look at it again and again; it doesn’t matter. First of all it’s done, and second I think it was pretty unfortunate for all three of us so we want to move on.
