Vettel summoned to race stewards over red flag infringement

Sebastian Vettel has been called to the race stewards after allegedly failing to slow sufficiently during the red flag during free practice one.

After FP1, the FIA confirmed that the Ferrari driver is indeed under investigation for an “alleged breach of Article 31.6 of the FIA Formula One Sporting Regulations.”

“Car five (Vettel) failing to slow sufficiently during a red flag period in practice one at 10:40.”

If found guilty it will likely be a three-place grid penalty for the German as similar offences have been allocated the same punishment.
