The German, who was running last in Silverstone after an unforced error in the first turn by trumpet, nevertheless crossed the baseline in 12th place.
And the F1 star was far from satisfied with the race when she called the team to complain.
He said, “It’s in the hole we didn’t like. We talked about it this morning.
“I’m going to wait, you know you missed everything.
Later, Vettel explained that he was baffled by why the team had used the maximum-lasting tyre for the shortest relay.
He added: “We spoke this morning and said there’s no point in knowing that we’re going to meet traffic, and that’s exactly what we’ve done.
“We also went with a hard tire, which we had used only for 10 laps, not even that, so it didn’t make sense.
“Why would you put the for 10 laps and the middle for 20 laps?
“No, I guess it’s not the most productive task we can have done today.”
Vettel stays 13th in the standings, with 10 points, adding: “There you have to miss.
“I’m sure what it is, but I’m looking to get out of bed and do my best.”
