Former F1 Champion Tips Sebastian Vettel “To Be God Again” At Aston Martin

It turned out to be yet another disappointing race for Sebastian Vettel at the Eifel Grand Prix. Starting in P12, he was going decently fast until a wild spin saw him slide off the track.

This slew of poor performances could be traced back to bad luck, a poor car, and whatnot; however, deep down, Vettel is well aware that the reason behind his sub-par outings is nothing more than a lack of motivation.

However, the silver lining for the German comes in the form of a brand new experience as he prepares to leave Ferrari behind.

In what was arguably the biggest news in the F1 community, the 4-time World Champion is looking at a change of scenery come 2021.

What’s more, the environment at Aston Martin Racing may just be what he needs to recapture his mojo and aggression that we all know and love.

Sebastian Vettel has a ‘huge opportunity’ with Aston Martin

An up and coming ambitious team meets a 4-time World Champion. Could there possibly be a better combination for Racing Point as they enter a new era of racing?

Former Mercedes driver Nico Rosberg also believes that this move could reignite some of the fire and passion in Vettel. And considering the fact that Racing Point are only growing stronger, it bodes very well for him.

Rosberg is quoted as saying, “His big chance is Aston Martin, it’s a huge opportunity. He’s going to be God again in that team, the car is fast, he can have some real success moments and have a positive mental spiral.

“And maybe come back to being as good as he used to be, and also remove those mistakes. So it’s a big chance for him, and I’m really happy for him that he’s found that opportunity.”

Racing Point will want to aim for higher than third in the future

It was a good weekend for the Silverstone-based team at the Eifel Grand Prix. In fact, it has been coming along for them since the winter testing earlier this year.

The fact that the upgrades have done well would hugely please Team Principal Otmar Szafnauer. Both Perez and Stroll have also looked sharp in the car, with the added assistance from Nico Hulkenberg as well.

Therefore, Vettel would be walking into a team that has an ambition to possibly challenge the upper echelon of the Formula One food chain. And so, his keen insight and experience could very well help Racing Point get there.
