Vettel fined by the FIA during free practice 2
Sebastian Vettel exceeds the speed limit in the pit lane during the second free practice session of the Abu Dhabi Grand Prix.
As the FIA prepares to experience a Grand Prix that will go down in history and promises to be intense, the commissioners already have their work cut out for them during the practice sessions. After deleting lap times of several drivers due to exceeding the track limits, the FIA is now imposing a fine on Aston Martin.
In question, Sebastian Vettel’s car number 5 exceeded the speed limit in the pit lane twice. Instead of driving under the authorized limit of 80 km/h, the German driver went at 81.5 km/h and 81.1 km/h. As a result, his team, Aston Martin, is now required to pay a fine of 400 euros for these infractions.
An incident that reminds us that this Abu Dhabi Grand Prix is going to be intense for the FIA and race commissioners, particularly with the showdown between Max Verstappen and Lewis Hamilton, which promises to spark controversy.
