FIA hands Vettel grid penalty

The ruling said: “The Stewards found that Vettel did, in fact, fail to stay above the minimum time set by the FIA ECU in marshalling sectors 6 and 7.

ALEX LYNN: “IT’S STILL EARLY DAYS BUT WE’RE MAKING BIG STRIDES.”

The result may be nothing to write home about, but with Aston Martin Racing we had a positive weekend regarding our performance and pace in the 6 Hours of Fuji, the latest round of the FIA World Endurance Championship. The Aston Martin Vantage GTE continues to take a step forward, and it was only bad luck with safety cars that ruined our strategy and kept Maxime Martin and I down in an eventual ninth place.
