Vettel reprimanded for donuts

Sebastian Vettel was reprimanded and his Red Bull team fined 25,000 euros [$35,000] for his post-race title celebrations at the Indian Grand Prix.

The four-time champion elected not to proceed directly to parc ferme, as required by the regulations, and instead drove on to the start-finish straight to make clear his delight at his latest success. He performed a series of donuts before climbing out of the car, kneeling in front of it and them climbing up the catch fencing to throw his gloves in to the crowd.

Having been summoned to see the race stewards to explain his actions, it was decided that the German should be reprimanded and his team fined.

The reprimand is the first of the season for Vettel.
