Sebastian Vettel experienced the next disappointment at the Italian Grand Prix.
The four-time Formula 1 World Champion had to park his Aston Martin on the track in Monza on the twelfth lap. “I’m losing power,” Vettel complained over the team radio, fell behind in the field of drivers and steered his car onto the grass verge after an engine failure.
The German won his first Grand Prix in Monza in 2008. Vettel will retire from Formula 1 at the end of this year.
