Ferrari [https://www.essentiallysports.com/category/f1/ferrari/] driver Sebastian Vettel ruined a perfect opportunity to snatch a double podium. Teammate Charles LeClerc [https://www.essentiallysports.com/tag/charles-leclerc/] was already comfortably in the lead and Vettel was battling Lewis Hamilton. After a particularly epic scrap with the 5-time world champion, Vettel dropped the ball. He spun while trying to get back at the Briton and dropped like a stone. To make matters worse, the Racing Point [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Racing_Point_Force_India] of Lance Stroll [https://www.essentiallysports.com/tag/lance-stroll/] tried to unlap himself and tapped the Ferrari’s front wing. Then, on the main straight, Vettel’s front wing simply let go and gave a startled George Russell [https://www.essentiallysports.com/tag/george-russell/] an unexpected light-show.
