Ron: 'Crash kid' is just too impetuous

If your name is Sebastian Vettel you might not want to read any further as Ron Dennis is the latest person to weigh in on the Spa drama.

Vettel has come under heavy criticism after he sent Jenson Button into retirement at the Belgian Grand Prix as his attempt to overtake the reigning World Champ went horribly wrong.

Button all but wrote off Vettel's chances of winning the World Championship following the incident, saying "he's made too many mistakes" while McLaren team boss Martin Whitmarsh labelled the German a "crash kid".

Former McLaren team principle Dennis says Vettel is "just too impetuous".

"I think that it's easy to say it's a racing incident, that's the simple answer," he told GPUpdate.net.

"It seems Sebastian is just too impetuous; look at the incident with his own team-mate, look at incidents that put him out of the race. It's good to push, it's good to be competitive, but there are so many historical lines in motorsport and the one that fits him more than anything is, 'To finish first, first you have to finish.'

"You have to understand that, whatever the outcome, if he doesn't win this year's World Championship and he's considering the reasons why, I think he should first consider his own actions.

"It's one thing to put yourself out of the race but it's another to take out either your team-mate or a member of another team - it was a completely avoidable accident and he was lucky to get away with a drive-through."
