Sebastian Vettel: I left enough room for Gasly

The Aston Martin team did not earn points at the Austrian Grand Prix. The best result was achieved by Lance Stroll, who finished the race in thirteenth place.

Sebastian Vettel collided with Pierre Gasly during the race, finishing 15th, but after being given a five-second penalty for breaking the track limits, he dropped to 17th line in protocol.

Lance Walk (13th): “I had a good start, kept my position and fought the McLaren drivers in the early laps. I had several wheel-to-wheel battles with opponents on different strategies – it turned out to be fun. However, it was difficult to keep the faster cars behind.

I would like to get one or two points back from the sprint, but we have to keep attacking to get back into the top ten in France.”

Sebastian Vettel (17th): “I am disappointed to be pushed into the gravel for the second day in a row. Today Pierre Gasly did it – it feels like a target has been painted on my car! I was able to overtake well in the outer radius and left enough space left I think he got dragged too much and bumped into me – and I ended up in gravel The car was damaged so my race was almost over.

So far the race has been difficult. I hit the wreckage on the first lap, which damaged the car. We weren’t competitive on the hard tires in the first stint, but the situation was better on the medium – I broke through to the top until I ran into Pierre.

We were unlucky this weekend – we have to turn the page and prepare for the next race in France.”
