SILVERSTONE – Sebastian Vettel accused Ferrari of messing up with a strategy that made no sense on Sunday, although the unhappy German did not help his own race by spinning at the first corner and dropping to last.

In a sign that the four-times world champion's relations with the team are wearing thin, following their decision not to keep him on beyond this season, Vettel questioned Ferrari's moves after finishing 12th in the 70th Anniversary race. After rejoining in traffic from his first pitstop, Vettel informed his team over the radio that"you know that you messed up."

"We spoke this morning and said there was no point pitting knowing that we will run into traffic -- and that's exactly what we did," he told reporters later. "We went also onto a hard tyre, which we then only had on for 10 laps, probably not even that, so it didn't make any sense.
