Sebastian Vettel fined for riding moped on track after Australian GP F1 practice
The four-time world champion borrowed a moped from a marshal to ride back to the pits via the 168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:Albert Park circuit itself during a red flag period after his Aston Martin car stopped on track with an engine issue during the closing stages 🧸of ౠFP1.
T♐he stewards verdict read: "The Stewards determine that Car 5 stopped on the circuit due to a mechanical issue. At the end of the session, VET sought a way to return ♛to his pit. A marshal was at the location with a scooter. VET asked if he could drive the scooter in order to return to his pit.
"The marshal assented. VET got onဣ the scooter, expecting the marshal to get on behind him. When he didn’t get on, VET departed alone for the𒉰 pit, without the prior approval to do so. Meanwhile, the marshal was trying to contact Race Control for instructions.
"In driving on the track to his pit, instead of the designated route, VET breached Article 26.7 of the Formula One Sporting Regulations, which prohibits anyone from being on the track in the five-minute period after the end of a session, with the exception of specifically identified personnel, which makes no provision for drivers to have such access unless specifica🐬lly authorised."

Marshals or other authorised personnel in the execu🍬tion of their duty
Team personnel when either pushing a car 🐼or 🦩clearing equipment from the grid after all cars able to do so have left the grid on the formation lap.
“Obviously we had a 🍨problem, there was smoke,” Vettel told Sky ಞSports.
“I d🌊id the best that I could to limit the damage and get off the trꦇack as quickly as I could.
“It cost us the whole sessi⛎on which is not ideal. I haven’t been in the car for a while plus the track is different.
“It will be fine for tomorrಞow but it has cost us laps.”
