Sky Sports F1’s Ted Kravtiz revealed on Sunday that Vettel walked out following 20 minutes of talking about driving standards in the sport, leaving the German frustrated about how long t⛎he discussion was taking and the lack of progress made🌌.

“They kept going aroun🐎d… apparently, there was a big argument between all the drivers - they were talking about driving standards and it went on for 20 minutes,” Kravitz ꦐ;explained. 

“Sebastian was sitting there and thinking, look we are going around and around in cir🌃cles, we haven’t got onto the actual drivers’ briefing yet, if you’re not going to talk about it, I am just going to walk out.💧”

"The driver, Sebastian Vettel, left the driver꧋s’ meeting that was held at 19:30 on Friday 8 July, without permission, and expressing frustration at the meeting," the🐼 stewards noted. 

"Drivers are not free to leave when they want, this being a breach of the requirement to attend. Drivers at this level are role models for every driver around the world and in the opinion of the St🌊ewards Vettel failed to live up to that standard in this case.

"Subsequently Vettel had a meeting with the Race Director, who 🧸informed the Stewards that Vettel apologized without reservation, and that further, they had a very constructive conversation covering the topics in the meeting and more. The Stewards determ♋ine that there is a breach, which cannot go without penalty, but that based on the report from the Race Director there are factors in mitigation.

"Therefore, the Stewards order a fine of €25,000, which is suspended for the remainder of the 2022 season, subject to any breach of Article 🌟20.1 of the FIA Formula One Sporting Regulations or of Article 12.2.1 f) of the International Sporting Code."

Vettel endured a difficult weekend at the Austrian Grand Prix, finishing 17th and last of th🐲e classified finishers following an incident with Pierre Gasly at Turn 4.
