Red Bull chief Christian Horner has defended driver Sebastian Vettel following his outburst aimed at Narain Karthikeyan at the Malaysian Grand Prix.
The two were involved in a collision last Sunday that cost Vettel a fourth-place finish and resulted in him ending up outside of the points come the checkered flag.
After the race, Vettel made several remarks to the media and branded Karthikeyan an 'idiot', but Horner insists that this is an understandable reaction from the current world champion.
"These guys get a microphone shoved in front of him just after he's effectively lost a fourth-place position and of course he was annoyed, he vented his frustration," he told Sky Sports News.
"But it's one of those things. I think that any driver in that situation would be totally annoyed with the situation.
"Obviously the stewards deemed that Narain was in the wrong and dealt with it accordingly. But I don't think anybody could blame Sebastian for being a bit frustrated in that situation."
Karthikeyan replied to the German's comments earlier this week by describing him as a 'cry baby'.
