“And I don’t have any regrets. Obviously, there’s things that didn’t go well and things that I would’ve liked to do better, differently, and so on.”

Vettel was down on morale through the 2020 season, and it all started from the moment Ferrari overlooked him for Carlos Sainz over the succeeding F1 season. And just when the German started losing his plot in racing, Aston Martin came to his rescue.

Hence, from the point the British outfit secured his future, the real Vettel showed signs of a comeback, especially during the Turkish GP race, as he ended his 2020 campaign on a strong note.

Having very, very high expectations: Vettel

The 2021 F1 season is only weeks away, and the German is yet again under the limelight, as high expectations are falling over him. Furthermore, it turns out, Vettel himself has set a high level of expectations for the forthcoming racing campaign.

“Ultimately, I’m very much looking forward to this year. I’m very much at peace with last year. I know that it hasn’t been to my standards that I mostly hold myself,” he said.

“I’ve never really cared what people think or say or write. So that’s why I think it’s important that I am at peace with that myself. And as I said, very much looking forward to this year and for sure having very, very high expectations myself.”

Overall, Aston Martin have laid a pretty sturdy foundation for the 2021 season, and AMR21 is expected to be quite competitive, enough to battle for the top 3 on the constructor’s table.

Hence, with a potentially powerful car in hand, can Vettel finally get his redemption this year for his disappointing 2020 F1 outing? Well, let’s see what the future holds.
