Sebastian Vettel has been called to the stewards after he prevented Fernando Alonso from completing his flying lap. The Alpine driver was looking to improve to reach Q3, but had to back out after the final corner because Vettel blocked him. 

Problems galore 

The Red Bull Ring is a short lap and drivers always back off to try and give themselves clean air for a push lap. In Austria, the cars slow down before the final two turns. It turns out, Vettel couldn't get through the traffic quick enough and ended up getting in the way. The two drivers will report to the stewards at 16:50 local time.
