Why Aston Martin's Vettel F1 disqualification 'review' bid failed
Aston Martin's first attempt to get Sebastian Vettel's Hungarian GP disqualification overturned failed on Monday. The team did present new evidence as is required by the review process it was following, but that still wasn't enough to get the stewards to change their original decision. Scott Mitchell explains what Aston Martin brought to the table, why it was rejected, and what could happen next if the team wants to continue to challenge the disqualification.

MOFFAT is MAGIC! | celtic b colts 2-0 berwick fc vlog & fan highlights
#CelticFCB #Celtic #CelticFC MOFFAT is MAGIC! | celtic b colts 2-0 berwick fc vlog & fan highlights The young Celts beat Berwick FC 2-0 thanks to goals from Rocco Vata & Adam Brooks. The young hoops controlled the game well and dominated their opponents from Northumberland. All players played well but I was very impressed with four Celtic B players in particular, the magical Owen Moffat, Bosun Lawal, Ewan Otoo (number 4 i think) & last but certainly not least Rocco Vata. All of those capable of playing on loan in the Scottish Premiership in my humble opinion. Thank you to a fan from our rivals across the city who i bumped into & gave me a USB charger which i needed as there were no shops in sight that had stock of them in. The kind deed was paid times 10 what it would cost a charger. All staff at Airdrieonians very professional, helpful & informative & are truly a wonderful credit to their club, stewards fantastic as well & if you ask me anything they all deserve a 10% bonus this month!

Why Aston Martin Believe Vettel Will Get His P2 Back
With many of the top drivers either crashing out or suffering damage into the first corner of the Hungarian GP, teams normally unable to fight at the front or finish on the podium got the rare opportunity to do so. Aston Martin and Sebastian Vettel seemed to do just that when they finished second. However, after the race, Vettel was disqualified because the required fuel sample could not be extracted from his car. Aston Martin have since appealed the decision. Link to poll: https://www.youtube.com/post/UgyOs0jNVzP2Z1CX4sB4AaABCQ 0:00 - Aston Martin Believe There Was Enough Fuel In Vettel’s Car 1:24 - Fast Feed I'm your host Dillon Shelley and first up on Formula World: Aston Martin Believe There Was Enough Fuel In Vettel’s Car Soon after the race stewards announced the decision to disqualify Vettel, an Aston Martin spokesperson confirmed that they have appealed “Since we had reason to believe that there was more than one litre of fuel in Sebastian Vettel's car after the Hungarian Grand Prix, we decided to reserve our right to appeal” Many felt that this appeal will probably be rejected. Aston Martin team principal Otmar Szafnauer, however, doesn’t agree as he has now explained to Motorsport-Magazin “We still have 1.44 liters of fuel in the tank. There is only one problem. The feed pump is not working, which is why we had to turn off the car” He signed off by elaborating how they plan to prove they had more than the 1-litre required amount of fuel remaining “We know how much fuel we have put in. We know exactly how much we have used via the fuel flow meter. Because we have to declare the starting quantity, we can prove it that way” Fast Feed Ferrari’s Carlos Sainz thinks that his “start was great [at the Hungarian GP. He] put [himself] in a very strong position after that” [F1] They “were in the hunt for the win at that point, but instead [they] lost any real chance of fighting for it” “[They] had the bad luck of the traffic in the pit lane, which made [them] lose a lot of time behind [Yuki] Tsunoda and [Nicholas] Latifi”, he explained Williams’ Nicholas Latifi has expounded that “coming into this race it’s what [they] could have hoped for but was probably not what was realistic!” [Sky Sports] “But the start is what sealed it all, avoiding all the carnage, and then just making the right call” “So, a double points finish for the team, amazing being P8 in the championship going into the summer break, I guess that’s the best we could have hoped for this weekend” FIA race director Michael Masi has confirmed that the penalties imposed on Mercedes’ Valtteri Bottas and Aston Martin’s Lance Stroll was “considering the rain” [Motorsport Week] “If it was dry conditions and the same incident happened, it may have been a stronger penalty” “Based on that, it was quite clear cut and that is why the stewards said in both decisions that both of those drivers were wholly to blame. It was point-blank their mistake”, Masi further clarified Lance Stroll, meanwhile, explained that “once the incident at the front of the field happened, [he] took the line to the inside to try and avoid making contact” “But [he] locked up under braking. As soon as that happened, [he] knew [he] would not make the corner because it was so slippery and tricky out there” He “did all [he] could to avoid contact but, unfortunately, [his] race was over. [They] will take the break to regroup and [they] want to come back stronger in Belgium” Ferrari’s Charles Leclerc, who was a victim of Stroll’s mistake, stated that they “knew it was going to be a tricky start, everyone knew that” [Ziggo Sport] “Then when you're trying to make a move for P4 when you're coming from P15 or so, it's a bit exaggerating”, he added referring to Stroll F1’s managing director Ross Brawn is of the opinion that “what you see when Fernando is involved in F1 are incredibly tough battles but you always know he is going to be fair” “I know Lewis was moaning a bit at one stage about Fernando’s defence, but I didn’t think it was a problem” “Fernando was tough and fair and always gave just about enough space, which is what you have to do”, Brawn surmised Will Sebastian Vettel’s disqualification be overturned?

Horner Defends "Personal" Verbal Attack Against Mercedes
The aftermath of the Max Verstappen-Lewis Hamilton clash from the British GP has led to something akin to a war of words between the two teams. Both teams feel wronged by the narrative put forward by the other and they have now made their displeasure known once again I'm your host Dillon Shelley and first up on Formula World: Link to poll: https://www.youtube.com/post/UgxeyjT7VmZglo0XHFh4AaABCQ 0:00 - Toto Wolff Feels Red Bull Made It “So Personal”, Red Bull Call It “Unjustified” 2:35 - Fast Feed While speaking to Motorsport, Mercedes team principal Toto Wolff began by putting forth his thoughts “I think you can understand that from a competitors' point of view, the situation was upsetting. I can understand that. Nevertheless, the language that was used, and making it so personal, was a level that we have not seen in this sport before” “I think once the emotions are down, we will try to restore our professional relationship for the sake of Formula 1. But beyond that, there were no discussions, and don't need to be” He also revealed the mindset of Lewis Hamilton “I think he's pretty relaxed about it, honestly. It is a very polarising story, and some of the comments that were made were very personal and probably inflamed the situation more. But overall, he's good” Red Bull team principal Christian Horner, meanwhile, responded to Wolff on Red Bull’s official website “I would like to respond to some comments I have seen from Toto, who is quoted as saying our comments regarding Hamilton having caused the accident were ‘so personal’” He then explained why the emotions exhibited by them immediately after the crash were justified “I would like to make it clear. This was an on-track incident between two of the best drivers in the world. At the point in time when you have a driver in hospital and the extent of any injuries have not yet been made clear, your car has been written off and the stewards have penalised the driver seen to be responsible, it is natural that emotion comes into play, for all involved, whether you feel wronged or victorious” He also criticized the narrative put forth about Max “I also felt the narrative that Max was being ‘overly aggressive’ at that stage was unjustified. You only have to look at the fact Max has zero penalty points on his licence and has not been found guilty of any on-track misjudgements in recent years” “The aggressive 17-year-old F1 rookie Max Verstappen that Hamilton is referring to is not the Max Verstappen of today, just as Hamilton is not the same driver he was when he entered the sport” He signed off by suggesting that Hamilton has finally met his match in a competitive car “The reality is that Hamilton has met his match in a car that is now competitive, and I agree that both drivers need to show each other respect, but Hamilton was the aggressor on Sunday” Fast Feed Nico Rosberg has stated that “as a fan, it is such an awesome battle to follow because it is a battle of the generations” referring to the ongoing Max-Lewis rivalry [Mail Sport] “It is the best of the current generation with the best of the future generation and it marks a generational change” “It does remind [him] of [his] battle with Lewis, but it was different because [their] battle was team internal which added a layer of complexity” Williams’ George Russell pointed out that they “always go backwards on Sunday. It's not because [they're] doing badly on Sunday, it's mainly because [they're] just doing really well on Saturday” [Motorsport] Alpine’s Esteban Ocon is “pretty sure [they] solved the problem [they] had. [They] didn't just change chassis. A lot of other things have changed in the background as well” [Racefans] Toto Wolff feels that Formula E drivers Nick de Vries and Stoffel Vandoorne “have the talent and the work ethic and the intelligence to be in Formula 1” [Motorsport] “Stoffel was thrown in a situation with McLaren that was difficult to handle back in the day. They both deserve to be Formula 1 and [he] would very much hope they can find their way back”, he added Helmut Marko has revealed that “the accident engine is in Japan at Honda. They cannot yet say whether it can be used again after the violent impact” [F1 Insider] Ralf Schumacher feels that “Max [Verstappen] will not be scared, he will not take his foot off the gas. He'll just maybe look in his rearview mirrors a bit more often” [F1 Insider] Ferrari’s Carlos Sainz has stated that “unfortunately, it has happened to [him] now a few times that [he’s] stuck behind a McLaren [not being] able to pass” [Autosport] Alpine’s Fernando Alonso hopes that they “can keep [the sprint qualifying] format. And if anything, [he] will suggest Fridays could be more spicy as well” [Motorsport] “You know, like having one set of tyres and one attempt for everybody, it gives the same chances for all of [them]” Do you like Alonso’s idea of giving drivers only one set of tyres and one chance to set their qualifying lap time?
Honda Point Out The Possible Major Implication Of Verstappen’s Crash
With Red Bull’s Max Verstappen leading the championship by only eight points, the 2021 title-fight promises to be a close one. As such every little thing matters and the crash at Silverstone where Max did not score a single point can play a major role. Max Verstappen was on his second power unit for the season. If the crash has damaged the power unit, there could be significant consequences down the line as pointed out by Honda F1’s Managing Director Masashi Yamamoto to Auto Sport Web Link to poll: https://www.youtube.com/post/UgzNYEwqaPEIM9ShWl14AaABCQ 0:00 - Honda Point Out The Possible Major Implication Of Verstappen’s Crash 1:55 - Fast Feed I'm your host Dillon Shelley and first on Formula World: Honda Point Out The Possible Major Implication Of Verstappen’s Crash Yamamoto began by explaining his view of the clash between Max and Lewis “I think Max was thinking that he could have stayed in front of Lewis without hitting him. If he didn't, he wouldn't have run that line. On the other hand, I think Lewis when he passed [Charles] Leclerc at the end of the race after the red flag, he kind of pulled back, didn't he? It wasn't as tough as when he tried to pass Max” He pointed out how lucky Lewis was “So, he felt like he could pass Leclerc at any time, even if he didn't have to, but when he saw Max on the first lap, he felt like this was his only chance. But Lewis is amazing, isn't he? Just like in Imola, he has a lot of luck. He had a collision with Max and damaged his front wing, but the red flag came out and he was able to fix it right away” He then expressed his hope for the power unit that was installed on Max’s car during the British GP “I just hope that the power unit [PU] is OK. We are now running the second PU, but we hope to race with either the first or second one in Hungary, so we can only hope that the crash did not damage it” He signed off by responding to what will happen if the power unit used in Silverstone turns out to be damaged “I don't want to think about that, but if it happens, we'll have to race with the first unit or consider the third. If that happens, we are limited to three units per year, so it will have to be tough. Considering the championship battle, I'm worried” Fast Feed McLaren’s Daniel Ricciardo thinks “there's now just still some underlying pace. It's strange because you'd think on one lap is where [he] would maybe lack more, when you really push the car on the limit, and maybe the race when everything settles down [he'd] have a bit more” [Motorsport] “But [they've] kind of seen the opposite this weekend. On the race when the car is a bit on fuel and starts to move around more that's where [he’s] still got to dial it in a bit more” Williams CEO Jost Capito has stated that they “need drivers who are willing to support the team, to get the team back, to lead the team, and to improve performance” [The Race] “At the moment we can see the interest in drivers to get to Williams is increasing. [They] are well-funded and this is known, and [they are] getting the steps in the right direction” Haas’ Mick Schumacher “saw that [Sebastian Vettel’s] race didn’t go as planned, that’s very unfortunate” [F1] “Therefore, I didn’t challenge him in any way because I knew he was going to go faster. So, I was rather trying to learn from him than impede him”, Mick added Ferrari’s Charles Leclerc pointed out that “the last year [in 2020] was more difficult for Seb [Vettel], but in his good days, he was just incredible, and just incredibly difficult to beat, if not impossible” [Beyond The Grid Podcast] He added that his current teammate Carlos [Sainz] is just very, very consistent, so it's different approaches, but both of them were very, very strong” Alfa Romeo’s Kimi Raikkonen has stated that if he decides “decide to quit, [he] really don’t care who drives the car. That’s no longer [his] problem” [Sport 1] He also feels that “With his name, of course, [Mick Schumacher] has a lot of pressure. The worst car gives him an easier start because expectations are low. He has more time to learn things” FIA race director Michael Masi has clarified that “access to the stewards’ office is strictly limited to the stewards, the stewards’ secretary and the stewards operator” [PA News Agency] “Admission is only permitted with the prior approval of the stewards or following a decision of the stewards to summons a competitor and/or driver” “Any competitor or person associated with a competitor who does not comply with the requirements outlined above may be considered to have breached Article 12.2.1.i of the International Sporting Code” Alpine’s Fernando Alonso feels that he has “always been a clean driver, and [he] will remain a clean driver for all [his] career” [Autosport] He added that he’s one of the “few ones that don't have any points on the license” If Max Verstappen’s power unit is damaged from the crash in Silverstone, should he go to the older one or take a new one early?
The FIA Reveals Why Hamilton Was Penalised But Not Verstappen
The topic of who was to blame for the Hamilton-Verstappen clash is still raging on. One school of thought is that Lewis Hamilton being given a 10-second penalty is an indicator of where the blame lay officially. FIA race director Michael Masi has now explained why it was Hamilton who got the penalty as quoted by Autosport Link to poll: https://www.youtube.com/post/UgzXkJvajsRmSz5SCbV4AaABCQ 0:00 - Lewis Hamilton Was Deemed “Predominantly To Blame” For Crash According To FIA Race Director 1:56 - Fast Feed I'm your host Dillon Shelley and first up on Formula World: Lewis Hamilton Was Deemed “Predominantly To Blame” For Crash According To FIA Race Director Masi began by explaining why first lap incidents have been dealt with more sternly this year “There is a clear point that the first lap is obviously treated in a much lighter way under ‘the let them race’ principles than the rest of the race, no doubt about that but the drivers have clearly said, as have the teams from the end of last year, that they felt with the elbows were out a bit too far last year, and they needed to be tucked back in a little bit” He then explained why they didn’t take a more lenient approach with stewarding the Hamilton-Verstappen crash “There were two cars clearly involved in the incident and all the drivers from the start of this year said that if there's two cars involved, that if there is someone that is predominantly to blame, predominantly or wholly, then that should be looked at a bit closer, even on the first lap” He then clarified why Hamilton was given the penalty “I think having looked at it all, their view was that he was predominantly to blame for that. The big part was similar to what happened with Charles later on, that he could have, say, tucked in closer to the apex” He made clear that it wasn’t entirely Hamilton’s fault “And that was where they found that, I think the wording was quite clear as per the regulations, that he was predominantly to blame. He wasn't seen as wholly to blame for it, but seen as predominantly to blame, that he could have tucked in further” He signed off by responding to the suggestions that the 10-second penalty wasn’t strong enough as Lewis would go on to win the race despite the penalty “That may have changed the outcome. But we don't know, we judge it on the incident itself” Fast Feed Mercedes team principal Toto Wolff thinks that “this championship was always very intense, because [they] are fighting with everything [they] have in order to hold onto this championship” [F1] This is despite “knowing [they] are not performing as [well as] Red Bull and Honda” He added that they’ve “had big points losses in the past and, [at Silverstone, they] scored big points, so that is always balancing itself out” Mercedes’ Lewis Hamilton is “open to [talking to Max about the crash, he doesn’t] have any issues, [he doesn’t] really know what [they’ll] say” Former world champion Mika Hakkinen has suggested that “as a top driver, going for the World Championship, you are not there to back off. It’s [their] job to race” [Unibet] He knows from [his] “own experiences that when you are racing wheel-to-wheel there is always the possibility of the cars touching” He further feels that “this accident will really put some fire between these guys and their battle for the World Championship” Red Bull advisor Helmut Marko is of the opinion that “it will certainly become even more tense. The relationship has never been relaxed” [RTL] “For the spectators, such things are exciting. But we will behave within the bounds of fair sporting practices”, Marko added “We won the sprint with ease at Silverstone and would have also won the main race. There is no reason to panic. We expect it to be close again”, Marko surmised FIA Formula 1 Medical Rescue Coordinator Doctor Ian Roberts has revealed that “initially, Max was a little disoriented and not so stable on his feet, but he was soon able to walk” [The Telegraph] Red Bull’s Sergio Perez thinks that P7 at the British GP “was possible; with a few more laps [he thinks he] could have caught Lance [Stroll] and Fernando [Alonso]” [F1] However, they “decided to stop for strategic reasons to get the fastest lap. It's a weekend for [them] to forget quickly and [they've] lost a lot of ground in the championship” Retired F1 world champion Damon Hill doesn’t think he has “ever seen Lewis Hamilton on the track as aggressive as he was during the race at Silverstone” [F1 Nation Podcast] He further explained that “all drivers assume that the other person just has to give way. They all think: he has to move, because I am faster” “If you have two people with that mindset, of course that never goes well. Hamilton was very lucky he didn't suffer any further damage” Was it the right decision on Red Bull’s part to forfeit a possible top 10 finish for the fastest lap during the British Grand Prix?
