Aston Martin is considering Vettel appeal
After Vettel’s disqualification on Sunday for inadequate fuel sample after the race, Aston Martin announced plans to appeal. From this point on, you have four days to submit one.
“Since after the Hungarian Grand Prix we had reason to believe that there was more than a liter of fuel in Sebastian Vettel’s car, we reserved the right to appeal,” explained a team spokesman. “[This] The decision was made public by the FIA late Sunday evening, in accordance with their standard procedures.
“We are now analyzing the data to decide whether to appeal or not, using the 96-hour ‘window’ that the FIA allocates for such deliberations.”
Mazepin expects “long career in Formula 1”
Nikita Mazepin says his frustration at being excluded from the Hungarian Grand Prix on Sunday was tempered by the expectation that he is at the beginning of a long career in the sport.
The Haas driver was hit in the pits by Kimi Raikkonen when most of the field pitted before the restart of the race. Raikkonen was penalized for the collision that put Mazepin out of the race.
“It’s just really annoying,” said Mazepin. “This is a race that I really wanted to take part in, and not just for me, but I think this race offered a lot of opportunities and my team really needs these opportunities.
“It’s just a shame that other teams make mistakes and send cars out. I mean, it was clear that I needed a double stack, I can’t and shouldn’t stay in the pit lane to stop people. So I have to go somewhere. And I was ready to go into my box. I couldn’t have submitted more later. And the Alfa just came out and took the tire from me. “
The eventful race “could” have been a chance for points, said Mazepin, “but it won’t be.”
“But I firmly believe that I have a long career in Formula 1,” he continued. “Seriously, I didn’t want to go into the summer break because you just want to give everything, at least leaving this weekend with a sore body and aching neck, but only missing laps and missing results is damn annoying.”
British F3 “forced” to change names
The series previously known as the British F3 has now been renamed GB3. Championship promoter MSV said he was “very disappointed that he was forced to move as he did everything in his power to maintain the historically important British F3 title.”
The change came about at the instigation of the FIA, it said. “The change of the new GB3 name is a pure consequence of the decision of the FIA to restrict the use of the F3 title exclusively for the international FIA F3 series, which means that the national umbrella organizations cannot issue approvals for individual titles at the national level. Seater championships with the brand F3. “
In its current form, the series served George Russell and Lando Norris as a springboard for entry into Formula 1. In their previous form, Ayrton Senna, Nelson Piquet, Mika Häkkinen and other future Formula 1 champions drove in British Formula 3.
“I am very sad that we are no longer allowed to use the British F3 name,” said MSV boss and former F1 driver Jonathan Palmer. “In over half a century, the British F3 title has an enormous legacy and the championship has played an important role in the careers of many F1 drivers, including my own. However, the strength of our championship is based on much more than a name and that will be reflected in their continued success. “
