“Cannot Race”: F1 World Rage Against Clear Culprit As Sebastian Vettel 6-Position Manoeuvre Takes Massive Hit at Austrian GP

Published 07/09/2022, 11:24 AM EDT

Alex Albon bumped Sebastian Vettel off the track! The German was 6 places up in the Austrian Sprint when this happened. Notably, Albon had already picked up a penalty for doing this earlier to Lando Norris. However, he did it again, ruining Vettel’s race and putting him last on the grid.

The four-time world champion was sharp as a tack, though. He quickly reversed the AMR-22 on the gravel and continued again. However, not many fans have taken positively to Albon hitting a second driver only in one session.

Vettel, disappointed, quickly pointed out what happened to him. On the team radio, he said, “Albon hit me there”. Though Vettel’s improvement in the race was spoiled, fans did announce their excitement as he got back on. Thankfully, there was no DNF and his former home crowd cheered him on as he started again. Twitter has also reacted to the incident.

Vettel has not had the best season. He specifically has faced a tough time in qualifying with team Aston Martin. Though his last race at Silverstone ended in points finish, he did not necessarily have the best qualifying.

His latest qualifying in Austria, in fact, was a nightmare too. The driver was out in Q3 as the machinery simply did not have enough pace to keep Q1 hope alive. So, what is next for him?
