Reigning World Champion Sebastian Vettel could find himself in trouble with Formula One's governing body the FIA after an onboard camera shot emerged of Vettel apparently raising his middle finger to HRT driver Narain Kartikeyan during Sunday's Malaysian GrandPrix in which the pair were involved in an on track incident.
Vettel was also in hot water yesterday after apparently deliberately disobeying a direct order from his team to retire his car from the Sunday's race on the final lap of the race. Seb's season has got off to a terrible start as the German has failed to win so far this season as McLaren have been very quick.
In the two races so far this season Vettel has scored a second place in Australia and no points in Malaysia, meanwhile team-mate Mark Webber has recorded two fourth place finishes and currently lies fourth in the championship ahead of Vettel. The FIA are apparently set to investigate Vettel's action's during the Malaysian GrandPrix weekend.
Meanwhile RedBull are apparently going to sit down with Vettel over the next couple of week's to discuss why he appeared to ignore a direct order from his race engineer. I believe that the pressure is getting to Vettel already this year due to a poor start to his campaign as I believe he didn't expect the team to be trailing behind McLaren.
