What was Opinionated by Otmar Szafnauer on Sebastian Vettel?
“There’s probably more to come from Sebastian Vettel but he’s very comfortable, he’s working well with the team and working hard to get more performance out of the car, so we’re really happy with him.”
Aston Martin made a slow start to the season but have made significant strides in recent races, with Vettel sealing the team’s first podium since they rebranded at the Azerbaijan Grand Prix.
