Vettel had quite a disappointing 2020 season with Ferrari, and many might say that it was his worst year since he joined the sport. So, after six unsuccessful years, Ferrari ended their partnership with the German.
Aston Martin will be powered by a Mercedes engine, and to have a driver like Sebastian would be a recipe for success. Not only will that give the team an opportunity to make a remarkable comeback, but it would also allow the German to regain his respect and glory in the world of F1.
