F1 | Mercedes, Lauda: “Vettel? A few five second penalties"
"He made a big mistake, we could have achieved a double," underlined the non-executive chairman of Mercedes
di Piero Ladisa25 June, 2018
At the end of French Grand Prix, held yesterday on the Paul Ricard track, Niki Lauda pointed the finger at the too "soft" decision taken by the race direction towards Sebastian Vettel.
In fact, the German was involved in an accident with Valtteri Bottas' Mercedes at the start, and was subsequently sanctioned with a five-second penalty.
"The five seconds given to Vettel for a gross error are very few. He destroyed his race and Valtteri's, we could have achieved a double”, Lauda declared to Sky Sports UK.
