F1 | Aston Martin, Krack: “We want to convince Vettel of our potential”

Mike Krack, team principal of Aston Martin, declared how Sebastian Vettel represents an important resource for the team and how there is a desire to continue with Vettel beyond 2022, the natural expiration of the contract that binds the German to the Silverstone team.

According to the manager of the English Mercedes-powered team, the only way to convince Vettel to continue with Aston is to make him see the possibility of returning to the top, thus demonstrating to him the validity of the project.

“It's clear that a four-time world champion like Vettel doesn't want to fight for twelfth place, but not even for eighth - Krack's words to Motorsport.com - It is our job to provide him with a fast car, but above all to make him understand what our potential is for the future. Vettel is intelligent, he won't focus on the 2022 car, but he will want to understand what the future possibilities are. If we show him that we have serious potential, our chances of keeping him with us will increase. Vettel is polite, has great work ethic, and is a champion. He is the perfect profile to drag a team along and guide it in its development."
