Kiwi F1 driver Brendon Hartley sets the record for Ferrari driver Sebastian Vettel.

F1 driver Brendon Hartley will kick off the Grand Prix of Germany from the 17th after a few tough days at Hockenheim, only relieved by a comical moment in which he corrected Sebastian Vettel in a press conference blooper.

"I do not know much about Charles I know a little bit about the program, but yes, Kimi is Finnish, Charles is French, I think they're very different," Vettel says, encouraging an off-camera correction of Hartley .
