As we head into the last four races of the 2017 Formula One Championship season, Sebastian Vettel can add yet another reprimand to his ever growing list, this time for not being present for the playing of the Japanese national anthem on Sunday afternoon.
While fans will totally understand the reason behind his missing the ceremony, it is every driver's responsibility and duty to be in attendance to show their respect to the country hosting the event.
Sebastian skipped the Japanese ceremony so that he could remain with his mechanics on the grid as they attempted to resolve the spark plug issue that eventually put him out of the race altogether.
This is the Ferrari drivers second reprimand this year, a third could result in a ten place grid drop.
