I think this is a mistaken use by Vettel of the word stint
In English stint means:
stint 1 (stnt)
v. stint·ed, stint·ing, stints
v.tr.
1. To restrict or limit, as in amount or number; be sparing with.
2. Archaic To cause to stop.
v.intr.
1. To subsist on a meager allowance; be frugal.
2. Archaic To stop or desist.
n.
1. A length of time spent in a particular way: a two-year stint in the military.
2. A fixed amount or share of work allotted. See Synonyms at task.
3. A limitation or restriction: working without stint.
