Sebastian discusses the challenges of moving to Aston Martin

The former world champion is having a tough season at Ferrari and is solely focused on making the most of these last few races left. As a result, he pointed out that he hasn’t really thought about what will be the first thing he does once he moves to Aston Martin for 2021.

However, Vettel acknowledged that there will be some challenges. “I think, it will be a big challenge to get on top of everything,” he said.

It understandably takes time to get accustomed to a new team and a new car. Vettel said, “Come January-February, I am going to throw myself into the project. Try to make sure I understand everything before driving, testing and racing start.”

According to Sebastian, the most pertinent thing is to understand and know the team. On the first thing he’d do, he said, “Trying to establish the differences and contribute to making things better.”

Sebastian Vettel had to depart from Ferrari without completing his dream of winning a world championship with the team. Vettel will be looking forward to putting the disastrous 2020 season behind him and fight for the podium once again with Aston Martin next season.
