FIA was unable to get 1 liter of fuel out of Vettel's Aston Martin
Aug.1 - After the race it was not possible to take a 1.0 litre sample of fuel from car 5. The team was given several opportunities to attempt to remove the required amount of fuel from the tank, however it was only possible to pump 0.3 litres out.
During the hearing in presence of the FIA Technical Delegate and the FIA Technical Director the team principal of Aston Martin stated that there must be 1,44 litres left in the tank, but they are not able to get it out. This figure is calculated using the FFM or injector model.
Therefore Aston Martin’s Sebastian Vettel has lost his second-place finish and been disqualified from the results of the Hungarian Grand Prix after race officials were unable to take the required fuel sample from his car following the race.
Under the technical regulations, competitors must ensure that a 1.0 litre sample of fuel may be taken from the car at any time during the event – however it was only possible to take 0.3 litres from Vettel’s Aston Martin after Sunday’s race.
The decision means that Mercedes’ Lewis Hamilton inherits second place, with Ferrari’s Carlos Sainz classified as the final podium finisher in third.
The rest of the top 10 behind Vettel also inherit a place each, with Alfa Romeo’s Kimi Raikkonen promoted from P11 into the final points paying position of P10.

I thought it was pretty obvious that where Seb stopped was because he didn't have enough fuel. I wonder what this means in terms of the podium. Will Alonso be promoted to 3rd place...... 🤔
Oh dear DISQUALIFIED
he had no luck for wearing the s+it shovers t-shirt.he said he didnt care about the stewards ,but it cost his team dear.
Vettel’s T-shirt had nothing to do with it you homophobic piece of Sh+t!!.
Homophobes are just trying to hide the fact that they love being a “sh+t shovers b+tch.
theres a right nest of pansys hanging out here isnt there .you will find it was a 5 grid place penalty bottas gotstroll got the same .it came a race late for mb.
That sucks, not as much as madra mor apparently does but sucks all the same. Penalise the team not the driver Seb deserved to keep the 2nd place.
Bottas and Stroll wipe out half the field and get given five-second grid penalties for the next race.
Spyhole.take your head out of your ass and u might see botty boy has a five grid place penalty not five second penalty.new to F1 are you.
Setzer take your head out of your arse, it’s pretty bleeding obvious I meant five grid places.
Maybe as I’m new to the internet you as an expert on here can tell me why you are so qualified to make a comment yourself. My last race was in a Reynard 94d what was your last race in.
if you meant grid places why didnt you say grid places.i cant read your mind .with the favouritism being shown to mb it could easily have been a five second penalty.btw couldnt care less what you were driving
shouldnt have pissed off the stewards with the tee shirt zeb.they have the last laugh
they could have taken sample from lance car if they dont find enough fuel for inspection ?
a really nieve comment cmement.are u new to formula racing too
Yes, Kimi got point, I had a dream of Kimi leading the race and point is like a win now!
Btw, can someone tell me smth about that shirt, idk anything about that...
It was to do with gay pride 🏳️🌈 guessing by the colour of it.
It sure as hell got madra mo triggered I’m guessing he secretly loves it.
Watching c4 post race interview with SV , along wanders Toto and fist bumps Seb....... Ahhhhhh now we know a thank you to AM for the fuel mix up , Hamster needs all the Help he can get it seems .
2nd c4 point it seems they've now realised how good Carlos hair is, as i've been saying for ages, a blatant god your hair is good from Steve Jones lol
Bloody hell you lot love a good conspiracy theory on here.
I was going to comment on the fact that if they are still undecided on the driver lineups for next year, then Bottas has only enhanced his claims to being a team player.
It certainly didn’t do his chances of being offered a new contract any harm, and I can see why Hamilton is so keen to keep him around.
He’s that mate who always took one for the team by hooking up with the fat chick so you could work on getting one of her hot friends to come home with you.
I love all this pc stuff, these days you cant say fat chick , in the uk , it would a "plus sized chick" wonderful just wonderful, saying someone is fat is a bad bad thing apparently , time to remove the words fat and thin from our language, come on Lewis champion it, you know you want to....
"Chick".....c'mon Shrop', you're better than that.
Just quoting the spy, im far more of a gentleman that
Vetel finished the race on his allocated fuel why penalize him? as far as I'm concerned F1 rules are now absolutely spoiling the sport, i will now change to watching Touring cars!!!!!
Archaic rule. We can diagnose cancer with 2 ml of blood, but nee a full litre of fuel for analysis?
Disqualified! This is heartbreaking for SV & the Aston Martin team!!
