SHANGHAI,(Reuters) - Sebastian Vettel and Daniil Kvyat engaged in a verbal spat after Sunday’s Chinese Formula One Chinese Grand Prix as the four-times champion blamed the Russian for pushing him into a collision with team mate Kimi Raikkonen.

The two Ferraris came together at the first corner in the race after German Vettel was forced to go wide by Kvyat who steamed up the inside in his Red Bull. Raikkonen and Vettel, starting third and fourth, suffered damage in the incident and had to pit for new front wings, which put paid to their chances of challenging Mercedes pole-sitter Nico Rosberg for the win.
