Vettel was disqualified from the Hungarian Grand Prix as the stewards were unable to extract the required amount of fuel for testing.
Aston Martian said there is still more fuel left in the car as per the data they have. Vettel is still in second place since Aston Martian appealed for Vettel's disqualification to the stewards for more investigation.
Until then car no.5 is sealed and impounded by the stewards for further investigation.
Until the appeal is investigated, Hamilton takes 2nd place and Sainz takes 3rd for now.
