Quadruple F1 world champion Sebastian Vettel has shrugged off controversial claims made by his former Red Bull teammate Mark Webber in his newly published autobiography.
Retired F1 star Webber slammed the quadruple F1 world champion's "arrogance", revealing Vettel even threatened to sue Red Bull in the wake of the so-called Multi-21 team orders affair.
"I really don't care what Mark has to say about me," Vettel, now at Ferrari, told Bild. "Everyone has the right to his opinion."
The 27-year-old also bristled at Bernie Ecclestone's recent claim that, due to his low profile, Vettel is bad for business.
"Sadly, I am not part of that generation, such as Senna, Prost, Piquet and Lauda, who didn't have to listen to this sh*t," Vettel told Daily Mail newspaper.
"If you told them what to do, they would give you the 'fu*k off'. I stopped playing backgammon - maybe that's why Bernie said what he did," he added.
Vettel and Webber clashed regularly during a power struggle within the team which began in 2009 and carried on through until almost the last day of the Australian's tenure with the energy drinks outfit in 2013.
Most famous clashes between the two were in Turkey 2010 which ended in tears as the two collided during the race and the Multi-21 furore in the wake of the 2013 Malaysian Grand Prix where Vettel was accused of disobeying team orders.
