According to sport.de, Vettel had previously been signed up to help launch the latest Ferrari supercar, preventing him from travelling to Austria. Vettel was helping to launch the SF90 Stradale – a road-legal car that borrows technology from the Maranello outfit's 2019 F1 car. The event in Maranello featured a minute's silence to honour Lauda, who won two of his three world titles with the Scuderia, in 1975 and 1977.
