F1 | Damon Hill: “Vettel needs an exorcism”

Damon Hill is incredulous at the difficulties that Sebastian Vettel is going through recently. The German, who moved from Ferrari to Aston Martin, was the protagonist of a very complicated weekend, where he lacked the feeling with the new single-seater and in which he also made a bad mistake in the race, colliding with the Alpine at the end of the straight by Esteban Ocon, completely making a mistake in braking.

Vettel, according to Damon, must shake off the negativity that surrounds him, because it is a shame to see such a champion in an increasingly worrying negative spiral. A negative spiral to which an end must be put to see Sebastian back on top.

“Sebastian would need an exorcism to get rid of the evil spirit that possesses him. What is happening to him is ugly to see. He has to change something mentally, he didn't do anything wrong to deserve all this - the words of the former world champion on the official Formula 1 podcast - It's at a critical moment, it looks like the piñata that children enjoy hitting until it breaks to pieces. It's like in a rugby scrum he has to dodge the blows and get up, he has received many blows, he has to get rid of all the negativity otherwise the situation risks getting worse. Once he gets out of this negative spiral he has all the qualities to race ahead of everyone with Verstappen and Hamilton."
