    "As long as it is not affecting his driving - and it is abundantly clear that it is not, unless it is positively - then he should get on and do whatever he wants.

    "He is young, he is wealthy, he is at the top of his form, he has a great car. He will be feeling brilliant in himself, and that is reflecting in his performances on the race track."

    Ex-Formula 1 driver Mark Webber says the strength in depth on the current grid is the lowest it has ever been.

    The Australian, who retired in 2013, feels the number of 'pay drivers', such as Sauber's Felipe Nasr and Marcus Ericsson, is not good for the sport.

    "These guys are on a phenomenal level but the depth has never been weaker," Webber told BBC Radio 5 live.

    "We need to get the calibre that we have at the front of the grid. We need more depth and the cars to be faster."
