Christian Horner questions Sebastian Vettel's positioning on grid

SHANGHAI, China -- Red Bull boss Christian Horner has called for clarity over how drivers are allowed to line up in their grid slots after Ferrari's Sebastian Vettel failed to park his car between the lines at the Chinese Grand Prix.

Vettel started from second on the grid but positioned his car way to the left of his grid box, ostensibly to avoid oil and wet patches on the run down to Turn 1. In the end he made a relatively poor getaway regardless of the positioning, but he still managed to hold Valtteri Bottas off on the entry to the first corner and retain second place.
