Webber: “Vettel needed to change”

For Mark Webber Vettel's move to leave the comfortable, successful and familiar path of Red Bull for the most tortuous and unknown one of the Ferrari it was the right one.

“Sebastian is not stupid and he understood that he needed new motivation and a change – declared the current Porsche driver in the WEC to the Herald Sun – I think he had already decided before the start of the season. In my opinion, when you think you can express yourself better elsewhere, it's always a good idea to change scenery."

But if the German's step forward is seen as a step forward for the Australian, it may not be the same for the Austrian team, now in the hands of Ricciardo and Kvyat. “A couple of technical references have also left, so the team will find itself a little lacking in experience and continuity, an aspect that could influence the overall results – he continued – If Daniel managed to replicate 2014 it would be good. Certainly for the title he will have to clash with two tough guys like Hamilton and Rosberg. Regarding Daniil I can only say that it is positive to see a young man making his way thanks to his talent and not his money. In F1 there should only be the deserving."
