Vettel had no issues giving place to Raikkonen

Sebastian Vettel gave his Brazilian Grand Prix a rating of one out of ten after dropping from second at the start to sixth at the finish, but said he had no problem giving up a position to Ferrari teammate Kimi Raikkonen along the way.

Vettel started the race from second on the grid but lost a place at the first corner to Valtteri Bottas before he was passed by Max Verstappen and Raikkonen on lap four. He was shuffled ahead of his teammate in the pit stops later in the race, but when it became clear that Raikkonen was the more likely driver to trouble Bottas for third place, Ferrari instructed its drivers to switch positions.
