The 4-time world champion finished the race in 12th place with a lap down. His race engineer informed him about the standings, and with a disappointed voice, Vettel said, “Yeah I saw it read it. Well, the tires were absolutely dead at the end.”
“There’s nothing…. nothing left,” Vettel explained.
The German has had his fair share of heartfelt radio messages, such as coming fifth in Monaco or scoring his first podium for the team at the Azerbaijan GP.
However, this time it was different, as he failed to make an impact in Austria. But Vettel hopes to turn things around when they go racing in a week’s time at the same venue.
