Sebastian Vettel told he has "offended" all Italians as apology demanded from F1 star

Sebastian Vettel has been told to apologies to the "all Italians" and the country's president after his "offensive" comments about the fly-by which took place ahead of the Italian Grand Prix.

Air displays are largely banned by Formula 1 as of this year, as the sport commits to become more environmentally friendly. But Italy's Frecce Tricolori display team, along with Britain's Red Arrows, were given special permission to continue to take to the skies.

On their second pass above the grid at Monza on Sunday, they were joined by a huge jumbo jet as part of the display. Vettel, who is very passionate about protecting the environment, was less than impressed.
