Brazilian Grand Prix – No points for Scuderia Ferrari
Sao Paulo, 17 November 2019 – Scuderia Ferrari Mission Winnow leaves Brazil with the worst possible result: no points and a misunderstanding between Sebastian Vettel and Charles Leclerc which resulted in a collision that meant both of them retired from the race.
Lap 66. The incident that put the two SF90s out of the running took place on lap 66, six laps after the restart following the Safety Car period following Valtteri Bottas’ retirement. The top five were all very close at that point and at the first corner, Leclerc passed Vettel to go fourth. But the German tucked in behind his team-mate to try and repass him. On the straight before turn 3, the two men collided and both had to retire. A very unsatisfactory end to the penultimate race of the season.
