Munich / Spielberg - New team, old problems: This Formula 1 season * is not going really well for Sebastian Vettel (Aston Martin) either.
The 34-year-old Hesse was not bad at all in qualifying for the Austrian Grand Prix in Spielberg, setting the fifth-fastest time in Q2.
But then another mishap happens with the multiple Formula 1 world champion * at the center.
That happened: Vettel slowly lined up behind several other drivers on the track, while Fernando Alonso was just about to start his fast lap in the Alpine - but suddenly Vettel stood in the way of the Spaniard with his car.
And: That resulted in a severe punishment for the German.

The former Ferrari and Red Bull driver has to start the race on Sunday (3 p.m.) from 11th instead of 8th place.
“Alonso was on his fast lap just before the end of Q2.
As he approached the last two corners (9 and 10), there was still a line of three cars in front of him, which were preparing for their final qualifying lap, "explained the race commissioners in their reasoning:" Vettel was the last Car in this line and hindered Alonso, which meant that Alonso had to abandon his last qualifying round. ”So that's the penalty.

However, this caused a lot of misunderstanding - among others with Vettel's long-standing rival Alonso.
“He didn't have a free run in front of him.
He couldn't vanish into thin air.
That's the way it is, "said the 39-year-old at the subsequent media panel:" That's the big problem.
But: I do not think that they will punish ten or twelve cars. ”In the end, the jury did not do it, but only sanctioned Vettel in Spielberg.
