Sebastian Vettel had a horrible time driving the Ferrari SF1000 last year. The car was really poor and had many flaws ranging from an underpowered engine to a chassis that increased drag.

The car overall was very unstable, and Vettel failed to exert any control over it. As a result, he quickly lost confidence in the machine and the results were there for all to see.

For 2021, the German has teamed up with Aston Martin F1. Eager to put his nightmarish season with Ferrari behind him, Vettel would want a car that he can trust. That’s exactly what the Silverstone-based team intends to provide him with.

Team boss Otmar Szafnauer said, “Almost every driver we have ever had in our car likes a car with a stable rear.

“We always, always, always push to work hard on that stability issue. It is something we will work hard to give him. To have a car with good balance and a stable rear is important to be able to go fast, and we recognized that a long time ago.

“We will do our utmost to make sure he has that.”

Vettel’s journey with his new team has only just begun. The team has already teased fans about revealing Vettel clad in the team’s British Green racing suit.

While the final revelation may only happen when they reveal their car, Vettel has already linked up with the team at their headquarters in Silverstone.

Speaking about the 4-time world champion’s first day with the team, Szafnauer said (translated via Google), “It was great. Sebastian is exactly as we expected him to be. He’s highly professional, a four-time Formula 1 World Champion and you can see why.”

“He works incredibly hard, has great know-how and knowledge, and wants to understand everything and constantly develop himself further. With this, he wants to improve all aspects – the team, the car, the performance.

“He wants to have fun again in Formula 1. And fun means in this In case he is competitive again and feels good.”

Szafnauer has high hopes from Vettel and believes the German can even finish among the top-3. The German star would certainly like that. However, the mid-field is very competitive, making the job difficult for him.

Will fans see the German back to his absolute best in 2021? We shall soon see.
