Sebastian Vettel ahead of the Austrian Grand Prix at the Red Bull Ring in Spielberg, Austria.Sebastian Vettel was handed a €25,000 suspended fine on Saturday for storming out of the F1 drivers’ meeting ahead of the Austrian Grand Prix.
“Drivers are not free to leave when they want, this being a breach of the requirement to attend. Drivers at this level are role models for every driver around the world and in the opinion of the Stewards Vettel failed to live up to that standard in this case,” the bulletin from the stewards read, in part.
The Aston Martin driver was summoned following Saturday’s sprint race, and in wake of the move, George Russell, who is one of the Grand Prix Drivers Association directors, discussed the drivers’ frustration. He did not specifically speak on the summons but rather touched on how stewards interpreted the rules for recent battles, such as those between Sergio Perez, Lewis Hamilton and Charles Leclerc, as well as Max Verstappen and Mick Schumacher.
