It is safe to say that pressure is mounting on Vettel more than the other driver. For none of them have four world titles in their CV like the German. His critics have never been louder, some believing he has lost his will to others questioning the intent behind his appointment at Aston Martin. 

Since Vettel is coming over from Ferrari, he has had to adjust to both a new chassis and a new Mercedes engine. According to Team Principal Otmar Szafnauer, Perez is suffering the same fate in the Red Bull garage.

What did Otmar Szafnauer say about Sebastian Vettel? 

Otmar Szafnauer said, “For Sebastian Vettel, the philosophy of the AMR21 is completely different and that does take time to learn. I spoke to Sergio Perez [in Imola] and he’s gone to Red Bull, which has a different philosophy to us, and he said similar.

“It’s going to take seat time to be able to get on top of the fine margins needed for getting the most out of the car. The more seat time, the better.” 

Having said that Otmar Szafnauer is backing his marquee driver to rise above all the expectations, “Sebastian Vettel has very high expectations. He will work tirelessly to get better and move up that learning curve, but he’s not beating himself up.

Otmar Szafnauer concluded by mentioning He’ll take that bit of frustration and be even more determined to get up to speed quickly.”
