Vettel frustrated at incident with Karthikeyan

For Sebastian Vettel and Malaysian Grand Prix was a stark contrast to the race one week earlier, where he finished 2nd.

During the Malaysian Grand Prix he ran as high as 4th but soon came a cropper to the difficult back markers, who were also struggling in the conditions. Vettel slashed his tyre on Narain Karthikeyan's HRT after he cut across him during a lapped overtake.

 
Karthikeyan was given a 20 second time penalty for the incident that, in my view, was not my fault. He was also involved in an incident with Mclaren's Jenson Button, with both seeming to be at fault there. What do you think, comment your thoughts. 

Vettel said “He was off the track. In my view, it was over. As in real life, there are a few cucumbers on the road. It’s extremely frustrating, because in a chaotic race where I lost the radio right at the beginning, a fourth place would have been satisfactory … We are somewhere in the middle (of the pack). Fernando did a good race today but the key was to always come into the pits at the right time.”
