Sebastian Vettel has been reprimanded and fined €25,000 for failing to obey FIA officials during a routine weight check at the Brazilian Grand Prix.
The incident occurred during the second part of qualifying when Vettel returned to the pits to switch tyre compounds. Rain was in the air and Ferrari was hoping to make a quick switch so Vettel could return to the track in dry conditions and set a time quick enough to progress to the top-ten shootout.
The FIA randomly calls drivers onto the weighbridge as they return to the pits in order to ensure cars are running legally at all times.
