Speaking later, however, Vettel signalled a change of stance: "Of course in the heat of the moment you are upset because had I not given in we both would have ended our race that very moment - if I had closed the door at that very moment it would have ended in a shunt.
"I have done enough races to be able to steer and look into the rear mirror [so] it went well for both of us - but it was marginal.
"Now I have cooled down, I have to say had I been in his position I also would have tried it. We are both experienced enough to know that if the other plays along we both stay in the race."
