Sebastian Vettel is angry with the FIA. Very angry. The reason? Seb, in two weeks, in Austin, will be forced to start from the pitlane. The Red Bull, in fact, will be forced to replace, at the American GP, the entire power unit of the German car. The replacement of the combustion engine only entails a penalty of 10 positions, plus 5 for every other component. In the case of complete replacement of PU (as in the case of Vettel) is the departure from the pitlane. The reigning World Champion is extremely annoyed with the FIA. "is a stupid rule, I can not even take part in qualifying. What do you think the fans to see a driver stopped only because he has to use a new engine?".
In fact, one of the replacement engine is a tricky affair. The reliability of a completely new drive units is not sufficient for many drivers (Kvyat started with 10 place penalty in Italy, and Alonso had tears in Monza and Suzuka) and also other will have to resort to the sixth power unit.
However, the decision of Red Bull to change the PU was foreseen: it was not done in Russia, because it is difficult to overtake in Sochi, while in Austin can make a comeback. But it will be hard for the future Ferrari driver.
