“That Makes Him the Perfect Team-Mate”-Villeneuve Explains How Red Bull F1 Would Benefit by Signing Sebastian Vettel

When the 2020 F1 season began, many touted Red Bull to be Mercedes’ biggest threats. Unfortunately, the Red Bull RB16 has not been the easiest beast to tame. As a result, Max Verstappen and Alexander Albon have struggled to keep up with the Black Arrows this season, but can Sebastian Vettel do it?
Sadly for the Thai driver, his woes were far more obvious, as he found it difficult to replicate last year’s Red Bull pace. Owing to this, the 1997 Formula 1 World Champion, Jacques Villeneuve, has seemingly given up on him.
He believes that Albon is not the right fit for Red Bull and suggested that they reunite with Sebastian Vettel.

Speaking to Sky Italy, the Canadian said, “Verstappen already has problems with the car and it makes sense that Albon is even further behind. These cars are really not easy to drive. Adrian Newey always designs his cars to the limit.”
“Vettel has shown in the past that he has the Newey cars under control. That makes him the perfect teammate for Verstappen. Red Bull would finally have two drivers who can drive to the limit.” (as translated by google)
Should Sebastian Vettel go back to Red Bull?
According to Villeneuve, Sebastian Vettel is one of the few drivers who can properly operate the Newey-designed cars. Since Max Verstappen is also capable of that, the German and the Dutchman could be one of the deadliest match-ups.
This is because Red Bull will finally have two drivers who can drive the RB16 to its limit.

Recently, Vettel confessed that he did not regret switching to Ferrari. However, he regretted the manner in which he left Red Bull.
He told Sky F1, “Obviously, we didn’t finish on a high, but that’s how the sport is sometimes, but looking back it was a bit of a weird constellation with contracts, what I was supposed to say, allowed to say, not allowed to say.
“That made it a bit awkward. So when Christian probably received that text, he knew what was coming. We all knew what was coming, but nobody was mentioning it yet.
