Vettel: “The FIA made the wrong decision”

The Abu Dhabi Grand Prix marks the end of an era: Sebastian Vettel will be driving his last race on behalf of Ferrari. With the team, he has not been able to achieve the results he dreamed of, but will have a new chance at Aston Martin in 2021.

During the press conference on Thursday, Vettel declared that he certainly felt pressure, because he hoped he could follow in the footsteps of Michael Schumacher.

Asked for his opinion on the fact that Fernando Alonso is allowed to participate in the Young Driver test in Abu Dhabi, but not Vettel and Sainz, he has clear answer.

"If you give Alonso permission, you have to give me and Carlos permission too. The FIA did not make the right decision. It's strange to give permission to one person and not the other," says Vettel.
