Vehicle control device and vehicle control method

A vehicle control device controls a vehicle including a first oil pump (10m) adapted to be driven by power generated by a first drive source (1), automatically stop when a predetermined condition is satisfied, and supply oil to a power transmission unit and a second oil pump (10e) adapted to supply oil to the power transmission unit when the drive source is in an automatically stopped state, and includes a control unit (12) adapted to continue an automatic stop until it is determined to restart the first drive source based on a parameter with which a reduction in drive force responsiveness to a drive force request from a driver, not including the stop of the first drive source, can be determined after an automatic stop command of the first drive source is output and if there is an abnormality in the second oil pump.
