Slow car in qualifying, fine, crash in the sprint race and crash in the main race: The Austrian Grand Prix turned into another horror weekend for Sebastian Vettel and he is really pissed off.
Collision in the main race: The Austrian Grand Prix turns out to be a disaster for Sebastian Vettel. The highlight occurs in the race on Sunday when AlphaTauri driver Pierre Gasly collides with Vettel. “I don’t know if I have a target on my car: ‘Please hit me!’ I don’t think I need to say much there. It was a good manoeuvre. I was outside, I passed, then he was too late and touched me,” says Vettel sarcastically.
Short, compact, clear
25,000 euros fine for Vettel: The misery began on Friday when the 35-year-old German suddenly stormed out of the driver’s meeting and was fined 25,000 euros for this offense, writes “Motorsport-Magazin”. Later in qualifying, the Aston Martin driver’s fastest lap was canceled so that he dropped back to 20th on the grid in the sprint race.
“I’m very disappointed”: A contact on lap 11 with Alexander Albon ended Vettel’s sprint early on Saturday. Due to the collision on Sunday, the 35-year-old dropped back to last place in the race and is visibly disappointed.
