Sebastian Vettel calls for yellow flag rule clarity

Sebastian Vettel has waded in on the Hungarian Grand Prix yellow flag controversy, saying that the sport needs a clearer rule for the situation.

Nico Rosberg was investigated by the stewards after he set a session best time in a yellow flag area. No action was taken, however, and Rosberg insisted he lifted off enough.

But despite being cleared of any wrongdoing, Vettel believes that what Rosberg did wasn't enough.

"We are role models," he told SID news agency. "Next week at a go-kart race somewhere, the kids will probably think that because it's ok in Formula One, they don't need to back off either.

"We must establish a clear rule," he insisted.
