Germany's Kolner Express newspaper is reporting today that Sebastian Vettel has been warned to watch his manners. The report comes following Vettel's accusation that the FIA had conspired against RedBull when the safety Car was deployed in Valencia last weekend as a result Vettel claimed to the media that his retirement was caused by the safety car.
It's not the first time this season that Vettel has been warned by Formula One's governing body as following the Chinese GrandPrix he called HRT's Narain Kartikeyan an "idiot and a cucumber'
In my opinion Formula One should have a probation system like the one's that are in place in NASCAR and IndyCar. It would be a very easy thing to do. If a driver makes comment's like Vettel did last weekend they should as he was be warned of their conduct and they should have a three atrike's rule.
How I believe it should work is that if a driver is found to have made comments to the media like Vettel did about the FIA's safety car they should be given an official warning, as in my opinion that amounts to brining the sport into disrepute, it happens a second time they should be given another warning and then if it happens a third time they should be fined and placed on probation and if the driver persists the driver should receive a race ban. That's just what I think should happen but I think it is certainly something the FIA should consider as it would make driver's think about what they say before they speak to the media.
Team's have PR representatives with their driver's after race's for a reason.
