Sebastian Vettel and Charles Leclerc have had a frustrating season driving Ferrari’s SF1000. The Scuderia have faced some pertinent issues with respect to their power unit and have fallen way behind their expectations and reputation.
Nonetheless, Charles Leclerc has been right in the thick of the fight, struggling for a P4 in the Drivers’ Championship. However, Sebastian Vettel has struggled beyond reason this time around and has been marooned at P14 with barely 18 points under his belt.
In the wake of this troubling season with Ferrari, Vettel decided to jump ship to Aston Martin for 2021. Meanwhile, Leclerc was reported wishing Vettel his best with Aston Martin but clarified that he will be working hard to beat him too.
