Mexico City: Sebastian Vettel admitted he accidentally blocked Lewis Hamilton during Saturday's qualifying session for the Mexican Grand Prix and said he would accept a stewards' penalty.

But despite it being an obvious incident, and Hamilton's complaints about it on team radio, the stewards did nothing to investigate. "I did it, but I had no idea that he was coming," Vettel explained.
"I was told too late. Yes, it's my mistake so if they give me a penalty then go ahead. Nothing I can do now."
Vettel was on a warm-up lap and weaving over the circuit in the stadium section of the Autodromo Hermanos Rodriguez when Hamilton caught him and was forced to pass him on the way into the Peraltada corner.
Hamilton continued his fighting late-season defence of his world title by grabbing pole position ahead of his Mercedes teammate Nico Rosberg in Saturday's tense qualifying session.
