Vettel later claimed his comments were not at attack on rival drivers or
teams, but Rosberg said: “Sebastian brings the boos on himself. He
talks about my balls that I hang in the pool and then the boos come.
“My guys are working hard day and night. He couldn’t know if his boys
work harder. We give it full throttle. His comments are aloof and were
almost his undoing qualifying [in Singapore].
“I almost stole pole from him and if I had I would have laughed.
Sebastian should think less about my balls and more about himself. With
comments like that he is running the risk of losing the respect of his
fellow drivers.”
McLaren driver Button added: “It is incorrect and wrong of [Vettel] to
say that. We are obviously not doing a good enough job to beat Red Bull and
no one is at the moment but that doesn’t mean we are not working hard. Every
team is working as hard as Red Bull.”
