Narain Karthikeyan has said that he wants to move on from his row with world champion Sebastian Vettel.

The Indian driver collided with the Red Bull driver in the closing laps of the Malaysian Gran Prix, costing the German fourth place.

Vettel called the HRT driver an "idiot" following the incident, leading Karthikeyan to respond by saying that Vettel was a "bully".

However, Karthikeyan has now said that both drivers must put their squabbles behind them.

"I think we have to deal with it in a mature way and forget about it," he told Autosport.

"I have a lot of respect for Seb's driving abilities and that is it. I want to put this all behind me now, and just focus on me."

Karthikeyan was also involved in a collision with Jenson Button in Malaysia.
