Formula 1 | Aston Martin, Vettel: “It takes time to understand the new update package”

Sebastian Vettel's season, overall, may be at least sufficient so far. Aston Marti has obvious problems, and the package of updates brought to Barcelona is still struggling to produce the effects hoped for. The German, tenth in Monte Carlo, last year finished in second position in Baku after a crazy race: replicating what was done in 2021 is very complicated, and the vehicle seems to be even less competitive, but where the driver can make the difference, Seb he manages to get involved often and willingly.

“The Monte Carlo race was complicated due to the weather conditions – Vettel said. I also made a mistake, but I don't think we would have been able to score more points. So, overall I'm satisfied with tenth place, even if, looking back at my career a little, I certainly can't be happy with a placement like that. But the team is working very hard, we now have a new package but it takes time to fully understand it. Baku is a circuit where the rhythm is broken by braking, but here the driver can make the difference."
