Scuderia Ferrari German driver Sebastian Vettel bids farewell to the Maranello team at the end of the 2020 Formula 1 season. After a failed campaign with the Italian raceteam, he will try again at Aston Martin. The German received a lot of criticism about his bad lock at Scuderia Ferrari, but Guenther Steiner thinks differently.
Sebastian Vettel has not failed as a driver
In 2021, Seb will join the brand-new team of Lawrence Stroll. Racing Point turns into Aston Martin and sets ambitious goals with the four-time world champion. It is also the right time for Vettel to make the switch. He doesn’t seem to be in his old form anymore.
According to Haas F1 chief Steiner, Seb shouldn’t blame himself too much. The team boss says to AvD Motorsport Magazin on German TV: “As long as you give everything, I don’t think you have failed. He has failed to win the title with Ferrari, but not as a driver”.
Sebastian Vettel is too hard on himself
Guenther Steiner continues: “F1 is a team sport, so he doesn’t have to be so hard on himself. He has won four world titles and in F1 you have to be in the right place at the right time”.
Steiner emphasises that this is not the first time a driver has not had the opportunity to show his maximum potential in F1: “We can also see this with other talented drivers who have not had the means to use their full potential in their racing careers”. – he concluded.
