Vettel inches closer to one-race ban after Monza error

Sebastian Vettel is just one significant incident away from a race ban after an Italian Grand Prix which saw him slapped with the second most severe punishment in the F1 rulebook.

Vettel spun at the Ascari chicane early on at Ferrari's home race. The four-time world champion then attempted to rejoin the corner as the cars behind him were flashing through at high speed.

As he rolled back onto the track, he caught the passing Racing Point car of Lance Stroll. Stroll was sent into a spin, while Vettel suffered front wing damage which forced him to pit immediately.
