Sebastian Vettel Slams Alpine Duo Ocon-Alonso for Jeddah F1 Qualifying ‘Mess’

The Saudi Arabian Grand Prix qualifying session was the most chaotic that we have ever seen so far this season. A driver that was knocked out in the first round itself was Sebastian Vettel.

The 4-time world champion wasn’t happy about his disappointing session, and even fired shots at drivers responsible for making qualifying chaotic.

In Q1 all drivers are pushing themselves to the limit to get the best time possible. Having twenty drivers out on track can create problems for others, and that’s exactly what happened in Jeddah on Saturday. Vettel was knocked out, and blamed Fernando Alonso and Esteban Ocon for creating a “mess” in the quali session.

As quoted from Motorsport. total.com, Vettel said, “By not staying in line. Everyone panics and overtakes. This never changes as long as everyone thinks they have priority. We can talk about it so often [in the driver’s meeting]. If everyone does it differently again, it won’t help.” (Translated from German via Google)
