Vettlu fined for riding a scooter

Sebastian Vettel sat on one of the scooters he had rented from a warden after the end of his first free practice, where his Mercedes engine failed in his Aston Martin race car, and drove down the track towards the garages. The gesture entertained the spectators, but the FIA judges were not so enthusiastic and fined the four-time world champion with a fine of 5000 euros. The German, who was allegedly allowed to drive by a warden, was accused of illegally entering the track within five minutes after the end of training, when only "certain persons, but not racers, were allowed to enter the track without special permission." https://twitter.com/F1/status/1512291019798495232

But Ricciardo then passed two consecutive negative tests and will be able to compete in the race in Bahrain. The fact that two racers tested positive in the paddock in a week raises the question of the effectiveness of the measures that are still in force, but of course some fears arise among other races.

Marko hopes Aston Martin will treat Vettl fairly

formula 1

Sebastian Vettel entered Formula 1 as one of Mark’s young Red Bull racers and later won four championship titles with the Red Bulls. He continued his career at Ferrari, but it ended in crushing. “He makes an unusual number of mistakes over and over again,” Marko told German Sky. "You can't deny, it's an average of three tenths of a second behind Leclerc." Racing Point, which will be called Aston Martin next year, hopes the departure of the Ferrari atmosphere next year will trigger the return of the old Vettl. Marko agrees: "Sebastian is a very sensitive person and even though he has been in Formula 1 for a long time, such a separation has been very difficult for him. This is not Vettel we know from our time. What we see is not even close to Sebastian who won four titles. " Helmut Marko says that's what

Ferrari found a problem with Vettl's car

formula 1

Sebastian Vettel will compete in the Spanish Grand Prix with a new chassis after the team discovered a fault in his race car. The German had problems with the car already in the first two trainings for the British Grand Prix, which were eliminated for the race, but compared to his teammate Charles Leclerc, the four-time world champion did not have the right speed.
