Recently, Ross Brawn opened up about Sebastian Vettel while writing a column on the Formula 1 website. The 4-time World Champion has not enjoyed a fruitful season in 2020, and his best finish is 6th place in Hungary.
Other than that, he has been in and out of the Top-10 for all the races. Now, he lies in 11th place in the Drivers’ Championship staring down the face of a tall task.

According to Brawn, it is hard to stomach watching Sebastian and Ferrari labor through the season. Especially since both sides are aware that the end of their relationship is almost upon them.
What did Brawn say about Sebastian Vettel and Ferrari?
He wrote, “They are in that period of a divorce where the papers have been served, but the divorce hasn’t gone through. It’s very awkward. The chemistry between a driver and their team is so important.”
Right from the get-go, everyone is part of a team and the idea is to succeed or fail as a team. However, Brawn confessed that maintaining that dynamic is always a challenge for everyone involved.
The former Mercedes Team Principal acknowledged that letting a driver go is one of the hardest moments for a team. This is because, once the driver is aware of his expendability, the relationship can quickly fall apart.
To prevent extensive damage from the fallout, the team has to manage the relationship as best they can. Brawn even drew upon his own experience, as he has been put in such a predicament frequently.
When this situation arises, he knows that drivers have a tendency to become more difficult. At the end of the day, Sebastian Vettel must find a middle ground. In other words, he must cooperate with Ferrari until his contract ends later this year.
