Ferrari driver Sebastian Vettel has been excused his media duties at Yas Marina after staying in Europe for an extra day because his wife Hannah has given birth to their third child.

The four-time world champion was slated to take part in the Thursday FIA press conference, alongside teammate Charles Leclerc, in what would have been the first time the duo had spoken since they had talks with team boss Mattia Binotto at Maranello last week following their collision in Brazil.
