“Given this situation, car No. 5 does not meet the requirements of Article 6.6 of the FIA Technical Regulations. According to Article 6.6.2, the driver must ensure that a 1.0 liter fuel sample can be taken from the car at all times. The procedure has been carried out, however sample 1, 0 liters of fuel cannot be taken (from Vettel’s car,” added Steward’s statement.
