The Aston Martin driver comments on his disqualification in Hungary

Sebastian Vettel has not spoken to the media since his post-race disqualification in Hungary. Although Vettel stated he is disappointed with the decision, he mentioned everyone will remember his performance on the track.

“It was bitter, very disappointing. Because we lost a lot of important points. But there wasn’t much we could do. Only at the end of the race did we realize that there was a technical problem and that we were running out of fuel. But rules are rules. I still enjoyed my time on the podium. “ said Vettel.

When asked if he had returned the P2 trophy and given it to Hamilton, Sebastian jokingly said, “I don’t even know where the trophy is. In any case, I cannot return the champagne that I drank on the podium.”

Vettel will look to continue his form into the second half of the season and help Aston Martin finish P5 in the constructor’ championship.
