Sebastian Vettel has no intention of soft-soaping Red Bull team-mate Mark Webber today, despite plans for an unusual late birthday gift.
Sebastian Vettel has no intention of soft-soaping Red Bull team-mate Mark Webber today, despite plans for an unusual late birthday gift.
Formula One world championship leader Webber celebrates his 34th birthday as the season restarts with practice ahead of Sunday's Belgian Grand Prix.
Vettel, who has endured a rocky rivalry with Webber at times this season, was yesterday caught unawares when asked as to what present he had bought for the Australian. "I didn't know it was his birthday," said Vettel.
"I have brought nothing with me, so I don't know. I need to find something."
The quick-witted Vettel, with a smile, swiftly added: "I think they have these free shampoos and this kind of stuff in the hotel, so a last minute present but of course don't tell him."
