Formula One supremo Bernie Ecclestone has blasted four-time champion Sebastian Vettel, saying that he was left "disappointed" by the German's attitude in 2014.
Vettel failed to effectively challenge for the Formula One title this season, with Lewis Hamilton winning the championship after a stunning campaign.
Writing in the official F1 review book, the 84-year-old criticised Vettel for already conceding defeat with his Red Bull team and not mounting a serious challenge for the title that he won in 2013.
"I'm a super supporter of Sebastian but I'm a little bit disappointed with his attitude," said Ecclestone. "He's acting like a defeated guy and he isn't - that's not his mentality. He's a competitive guy."
After a turbulent season, Vettel has left Red Bull and has now joined Ferrari on a three-year contract.
