That's not an excuse. If he wanted more action, he should have quit moaning about his tyres for laps on end and tried to do something about Vettel who was within reach on many occasions. Instead, he's deflecting his inner disappointment about not winning by saying the race was 'boring' and 'slow'. Ricciardo was streets ahead of him today and managed to defend against three world champions for the entire race with an ailing car. If he can't capitalise on Ricciardo's severely hampered performance, that's his problem. Not the track's, not the pace's, not the race's.
