One of the most shocking moments of the 2020 season was when Ferrari ended their relationship with Sebastian Vettel and the German moved to Aston Martin.

With just a week to go for F1 Drive to Survive season 3, Matt Gallagher offers us a spoiler-free coverage of the Vettel-Ferrari break-up.

The series has increasingly become a tradition to help catch fans up with everything that went down in the previous season before the lights go out yet again.

Matt answers whether the Drive To Survive coverage had Sebastian Vettel villainized and beaten down. “They didn’t really beat down at all on Sebastian in my opinion,” replied Matt.

“Of course they kind of talk about Sebastian having a difficult season, but when he has that move to Aston Martin, the way in which he is depicted is actually quite positive,” he further added.

“Sebastian is spared a lot of criticism. Sebastian in my opinion had quite a bit of positive sentiment coming out of DTS,” he explained.

According to the YouTuber, it was the Maranello-based outfit that came out as the villain in the Ferrari-Sebastian split. The team looks like the bad cop in that whole scenario. The DTS season does cover the team’s horror show at Monza and throughout the season.

“[The show] Mercilessly probes the debate over the legality of the team’s 2019 power unit and reveals how strained relations between Vettel and Ferrari became following their pre-season decision not to renew his contract,” stated a report.
