Nick Heidfeld apologises to Japan's Sakon Yamamoto
Formula One driver Nick Heidfeld has made an apology to Japan's Sakon Yamamoto after he confused him with compatriot Takuma Sato in a heated row at the Chinese Grand Prix.
Rookie Sakon Yamamoto was celebrating his first finish in a Formula One race when Nick Heidfeld insulted him for a last lap crash that cost him fourth place.
Nick Heidfeld swore at Sakon Yamamoto before finding out he had picked the wrong man.
"I was not that polite. I was very angry, nothing you could put in writing or on TV," said Nick Heidfeld.
"He didn't have a lot of time to respond because I was just furious, I think once or twice he tried to say something but I just didn't let him speak.
"He acted like he didn't know, which obviously he didn't, and that just made me even more angry.
"So I just went to him and apologised today [Thursday].
"I said I thought it was him, obviously, and was very upset after my race because I lost fourth position for nothing basically, for two backmarkers who did big mistakes.
"He accepted my apology so it's all fine," Nick Heidfeld explained.
