Following qualifying for the Austrian GP, interviewer Davide Valsecchi encourages Sebastian Vettel and Lewis Hamilton to shake hands, but the pair decline

Watch the moment Lewis Hamilton and Sebastian Vettel were asked to make a handshake for the TV cameras in Austria - having already shaken hands immediately after qualifying.

Just days after they were placed in front of the world's media in a heated press conference dominated by questions regarding their dramatic double Azerbaijan shunt, Vettel and Hamilton were next to each other again for the post-qualifying interviews.

And though the multi world champions shook hands immediately after Saturday's shootout off-camera, an invitation from Sky Italia's Davide Valsecchi to make a second public handshake was rejected.
