Sebastian Vettel has refuted claims of Ferrari deploying teams orders to aid his 2017 Formula One title bid.
These claims come after Ferrari appeared to assist Vettel to wins in Monaco -- where Vettel was given the optimum strategy and took the lead off Kimi Raikkonen through the pit stops, and in Hungary -- where despite being significantly faster, Raikkonen remained behind Vettel, who had been managing a steering issue throughout the duration of the race.
The German currently leads the drivers' championship by seven points, and despite having a substantial 92 point lead over Raikkonen, Vettel says they are free to race without team orders.
