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.
