Sebastian Vettel Can't Help but Laugh When Hearing of Mercedes' Tyre Issues

Lewis Hamilton secured a convincing win at the Italian Grand Prix, before a stewards inquiry into the tyre pressure of both Hamilton and team-mate Nico Rosberg's Mercedes cars put the race result in doubt.

And talking to the press at the end of the race, second-placed Sebastian Vettel couldn't help but laugh at news of an investigation that could hand him the race win.

However, the Ferrari driver leapt to Hamilton's defence when asked about the investigation. Vettel told Sky Sports (via BBC Sport):

"

Look, I think it's not fair that you hammer questions at the drivers because it's not directly our decision. This race happened, we've all been through the podium ceremony, which was fantastic. It's a bit of a shame that we've started to lose the focus of the result.
