Sebastian Vettel fined 5,000 euros for track scooter ride
Formula One world champion Sebastian Vettel was fined 5,000 euros ($5,420.50) on Friday for riding a scooter around the Australian Grand Prix circuit after his Aston Martin broke down in first practice. It was not quite the return to action the German had expected after missing the first two races of the season due to contracting COVID-19. Vettel had managed a few laps but his car soon stopped with smoke billowing out the rear. After getting out, the German grabbed a fire extinguisher off a track marshal and gave the car a spray. Session over, he then rode along the track back to the pits on a motor scooter with his helmet perched on the top of his head, at one point waving at fans with both hands.
