Sebastian Vettel had a rollercoaster ride with his new team, Aston Martin, this season. The four-time world champion had a troublesome start but was quick to find his feet in the new car after securing P2 at Baku. But the German’s excellent form went away as quickly as it came.

Before the F1 entered the summer breaks, Vettel secured his second podium at the Hungarian GP. Unfortunately, the German was disqualified after failing to ensure a minimum of 1 liter in his car.

Meanwhile, former Formula 1 driver, Christian Klien believes there’s a lot to come from Sebastian Vettel this season. In addition, Klien took into consideration that the German may not have the one-lap pace of Leclerc, Norris, or Verstappen, but Vettel has cleverness and vast experience under his belt which will eventually help him in the second half of the season.

What did Christian Klien say?

As quoted by Speedweek.com, when asked about Sebastian Vettel’s first-half performance with his new team, Christian Klien replied: “It was an up and down for him. But if there was something to get, then he did it. If he sees that something is going, then he delivers again.”

“It is important that he has found fun again and that he feels that he is in good hands. I do believe that he still has the speed. Perhaps not in one round like Charles Leclerc, Lando Norris, or Max Verstappen, but he does it with his experience and cleverness.” (quotes translated via Google)
