Sunday actually seemed to be a good day for Sebastian Vettel.

The former world champion surprised with second place in the Formula 1 race in Hungary.

But after the Grand Prix there were two penalties.

Previously, Vettel had verbally and externally set signs for tolerance and human rights.

The fact that he wore a T-shirt with the words "Same Love" on it for the Hungarian anthem just before the race has consequences.

He received a warning off the track, which, together with two further warnings for misconduct on the track, can also lead to a starting place penalty.

In the evening in the paddock on the Hungaroring, race director Michael Masi explained that the drivers had the opportunity to show their support for the official Formula 1 campaign "We race as one" before the start. The host country's anthem should be respected by the drivers wearing their racing suits, stressed Masi. “That was the case at a number of events. And now it's the first time that it has happened. Sebastian wasn't the only one either. "

It was a small sign of support, Vettel had emphasized and initially even expected a fine.

It was a shame that there was still a problem with it, he had told the broadcaster Sky.

Like world champion Lewis Hamilton (36), the 34-year-old native of Heppenheim had already taken a clear position days before the planned referendum against the rights of non-heterosexual people (LGBT) in Hungary.

"It's shameful for the country," Vettel said at a press conference on Thursday.

He couldn't understand why the government was struggling so that people could just live freely as they wanted.

The prognosis “that we will all have to leave the planet at some point” is a good one, Vettel found on Sunday with a view to the suspicion of his T-shirt campaign.

Later, Vettel had to take a setback. He now has almost four weeks to deal with frustration. What a hassle! More than five hours after finishing the turbulent Hungarian Grand Prix in second, the bad news came: too little fuel in the Aston Martin. Vettel was disqualified. And that also had an impact on the World Cup status at the top of Formula 1.

Even at the finish, Vettel was divided.

Second place for the second time this season.

Good news, especially since he got off to a good start.

But only the first place behind the winner.

Vettel couldn't get to Esteban Ocon in the Alpine.

Egel what he tried in the Aston Martin.

Second place is also a reason for a “bit” of disappointment.

He shouldn't have expected that the two hours before midnight would tip over into total frustration.

The inspectors only found 0.3 liters of fuel, it must be 1.0.

Futsch was second.

His record in the first half of the season in the new team also reads mixed.

He did not make it into the top ten six times in eleven races, once he was (and stayed) second, once fifth, once ninth, plus a retirement at Silverstone and now the disqualification.
