Sebastian Vettel fell to the back of the grid after spinning out on the opening lap of the 70th Anniversary Grand Prix.
Sebastian Vettel criticised by pundit over Ferrari performance
Sebastian Vettel's season went from bad to worse at the start of the 70th Anniversary Grand Prix. The four-time world champion was unable to get out of Q2 on Saturday, only managing to qualify in 12th.
It meant he had plenty of work to do off the start but disaster struck on the first corner.
Making his way on the inside, Vettel ran too wide as he lost the rear before spinning out.
Amazingly, the Ferrari driver was able to avoid colliding with any other driver.
But the spin dropped Vettel to the back of the grid in the latest setback for his 2020 season.

"He got on the kerb behind his team-mate and around he went?"
"Why does he keep spinning?!"

The 2020 season will be Vettel's last with Ferrari after the iconic F1 team announced he would be replaced by Carlos Sainz next year.
It means Vettel is currently fighting for a spot on another team next year with limited seats available to him.
Mercedes have already made it clear they're sticking with Valtteri Bottas and Lewis Hamilton, with the former signing a new contract earlier this week.
Red Bull have also ruled out a possible reunion with Christian Horner likely to stick with Alex Albon as Max Verstappen's team-mate.
Racing Point, who will be rebranded as Aston Martin next year, have emerged as the likeliest destination for Vettel.
