The four-time world champion borrowed a moped from a marshal to ride back to the pits via the Albert Park circuit itself during a red flag period after his Aston Martin car stopped on track with an engine issue during the closing stages of FP1.After the first 60-minute session concluded, the FIA announced that Vettel was under investigation for “entering the track without permission.”It means Vettel could face punishment from the FIA with a hearing likely to take place before the start of second practice in Melbourne.
