Aston Martin driver Sebastian Vettel was sentenced to a fine of 25,000 euros by the race stewards at the Austrian Formula 1 GP in Spielberg on Saturday until the end of this world championship. The day before, Vettel had left the drivers’ meeting early and without permission. In addition, he “expressed his frustration” at the meeting, according to those responsible.
“Drivers at this level are role models for all drivers around the world and in the opinion of the race commissioners, Vettel did not meet this standard in this case,” it said. The fact that Vettel had visited the race director after his departure and apologized had a beneficial effect. In addition, the two had a very constructive conversation about the topics of the meeting, which Vettel had probably previously enraged.
