Leclerc and Vettel “will pay more attention” to Covid-19 rules – Binotto | RaceFans Round-up

What they say

Charles Leclerc was photographed attending a party in Monaco and not social distancing, while Sebastian Vettel was seen speaking to Red Bull team members without wearing a mask:

Obviously the instructions are for Charles and Seb. I think the entire team we need really to pay attention. We knew how important it is to be here and to race for the entire circus.

So I think that being distracted on the protocol is not great. We need really to be strict. So let’s really raise our concentration, our attention, really paying attention. I think both drivers understood that they did something wrong. I’m pretty sure that will pay more attention in the future.

|@F1 deleted 24 lap times for track limits violations today. In @FIAFormula3 qualifying David Schumacher was promoted from 22nd to 17th on the grid after a lap time which had been deleted was reinstated. Worth noting for tomorrow (if qualifying happens). #F1 #StyrianGP
