The FIA could sanction F1’s reigning back-to-back World Champion for his behavior during the recent Malaysian Grand Prix. Before calling Force India driver and backmarker Narain Karthikeyan a “gherkin” and “idiot” in the wake of their collision, Sebastian Vettel was captured by his on-board camera twice displaying his middle-finger to the Indian driver. Vettel was fourth for most of the second half of the race before he collided with Karthikeyan with nine laps left, puncturing his left rear tire. The Red Bull star had to visit the pits and finished 11th.
