Aston Martin Clap Back at Ferrari for Throwing an Apparent Shade at Vettel
Aston Martin’s Sebastian Vettel has been disqualified from the Hungarian Grand Prix after securing a P2 finish at Hungaroring. The FIA ruled out the German after the stewards could only get 0.3 liters of fuel from his Aston Martin AMR21. And according to the rules, drivers must ensure a minimum of 1-liter fuel to be available in their cars which can be taken from their machinery at any time during the event.
The four-time world champion disqualification means that both Lewis Hamilton and Carlos Sainz inherited the second and third place, respectively.
Carlos Sainz secured his second podium for his new team this season. And to share this news with their fans, Scuderia Ferrari, discredited Sebastian Vettel who spent seven years with the Maranello-based team.
