We may be a week into summer break, but Aston Martin and the FIA just can’t let the Hungarian GP go. With Sebastian Vettel’s disqualification came a lot of fuel-related questions. Why does the FIA need a fuel sample? Why didn’t Seb’s car have enough fuel? What even is fuel? We walk you through F1 fuel basics and break down Seb’s DQ as well as Aston Martin’s appeal. So once the verdict finally drops, we’re all prepared. Personally, we're advocating for a Pink Mercedes style hostage video from Lawrence Stroll. Let’s get to it!
