To his credit he was very honest and contrite in his statements to the media.
But that being said, you absolutely cannot send it like that on the first lap like that in heavy traffic.
The thing is, that Ferrari is probably better on race pace than qualy and probably vettel or leclerc or both would have finished in the top 10 easily and maybe even p4.
It was the worst possible outcome for Ferrari and nothing Vettel could do.
