Sebastian Vettel will retain his World title after F1 race director Charlie Whiting confirmed his overtake on Jean-Eric Vergne in Brazil was legal.

Ferrari have drawn a line under the flag controversy after the FIA offered them a written explanation.

"The request for a clarification from the FIA, regarding Vettel's passing move on Vergne, came about through the need to shed light on the circumstances of the move, which came out on the Internet only a few days after the race," the Scudera said in a statement.

"The letter to the FIA was in no way intended to undermine the legality of the race result.

"We received tens of thousands of queries relating to this matter from all over the world and it was incumbent on us to take the matter further, asking the Federation to look into an incident that could have cast a shadow over the championship in the eyes of all Formula 1 enthusiasts, not just Ferrari fans.

"Ferrari duly takes note of the reply sent by the FIA this morning and therefore considers the matter now closed."

I would love to see Kobi getting a seat and test Di Resta in a Force India. I really hope Romain gets a second season.

I still like the guy, he was very strong the first half of the season and gutted that he had the failure in Spain otherwise he was a good chance of bagging a win for Lotus.

I think Romain needs to enjoy his xmas break , put 2012 behind him and move on in 2013 as I think the more he worried/talked about his accidents the more he had. One thing he did show was I dont think mentally he is as strong as Vettel etc even if he has lots of pace and despite the accidents has good racecraft

Interesting, you expected a Frenchman to be as mentally strong as a German?

[sh@un]
