Sebastian Vettel feels the penalty he received for colliding with Robert Kubica during the Australian Grand Prix is unfair.The Red Bull driver will drop 10 places on the Malaysian Grand Prix starting grid after stewards deemed him responsible for the accident with the BMW driver during the closing stages of the season-opening race.
Kubica admitted that it was "difficult to say who is at fault" and Vettel believes his punishment is harsh.
"I don't think being put back 10 places on the starting grid in Malaysia is justified," Vettel said in an interview with German press agency DPA.
"Neither Robert nor myself wanted to end the race that way, you can't pile the blame on one person."
Vettel, though, says he has put the incident behind him and is confident Red Bull can improve on their performance in Australia.
"The accident was certainly a disappointment but there is not point in crying too long over spilt milk," he said.
"We showed that the Red Bull performance is up there, not only my performance but that of the entire team. We can build on this."
