After the dreadful 2020 season, 4-time World Champion, Sebastian Vettel was itching to make a great first impression in 2021, but it happened to be the other way around. The start of the 2021 season couldn’t have gone worse for Vettel, but to say the least there is some time before he can think about his mistakes ahead of the race at Imola.
For the first time in the sport’s 70+ years illustrious history, a season will have a 23-race calendar. Hence, this year will be taxing like no other, with numerous back-to-back race weekends. So, Sebastian Vettel is grateful that this mini-break can help them in improving car performance, and perhaps his own.
Sebastian Vettel claims he is grateful for F1 season break
“I’m excited to get going this weekend. It’s been good to have that little bit of an extra gap between these first two races–this year’s calendar won’t always be so forgiving–but that just gave us an extra opportunity to look at the data and understand where we need to improve the AMR21,” said Sebastian Vettel.
The pressure is mounting on the German from all sides. After his tumultuous spell at Ferrari, the general F1 community expected him to turn over a page. Now that he is free of the internal politics, a former Red Bull teammate wants him to translate his ‘happier’ self on the track.
“I think he’d be happier at Aston Martin – certainly be happier there Monday to Friday. But what’s the stopwatch doing? That’s the biggest barometer and he knows that better than anyone,” said Mark Webber.
He certainly is aware of the noise surrounding him. But he has assessment to offer that would be music to his loyal legion of fans, “As a track, Imola is a very different challenge to Bahrain: it’s a track that you can really attack, so I’m looking forward to it.”
