Vettel wants to know where the money from the FIA fines is staying

It is not (yet) the season of Sebastian Vettel. The German missed the first two Grands Prix due to corona. At his season debut in Melbourne, he was forced to park his Aston Martin during practice after losing engine power.

When the session was over, Vettel drove a marshal's scooter back to the pits. Apparently the FIA stewards were not happy about this: they penalized this ride with a 5000 euro fine, because Vettel would have gone back onto the track without permission. Vettel himself claimed that permission had been granted.

Motorsport.com Asked Vettel about the penalty. The German was clearly not happy. He indicated that he thought it was a joke and that he would like to know what happens to these fines. For example, Vettel cited where the fifty thousand euro fine of Verstappen and Hamilton went after they touched a car in parc ferme after qualifying last season?

Vettel will start in Melbourne from the seventeenth position. The first weeks of the season have shown that his Aston Martin is among the worst cars in the field. Teammate Lance Stroll is one spot behind the four-time world champion.
