Sometimes teammates get along, sometimes they don’t. Webber had some tough moments with the German driver and now has recently revealed his biggest weakness.

As quoted from FormelAustria, Webber said, “Seb never liked it when the weekend was disturbed, so when it rained on Friday, for example. In my opinion, he sometimes analysed everything too much.”

“Fascinatingly, despite the amount of mind management Seb could handle, Rocky (race engineer Guillaume Rocquellin) always had to help him through safety car situations. During the safety car periods, he hit the DRS board once, shooting me down and also killing Lewis Hamilton”

He continued, “I think he’s struggling to drive slowly. (laughs) I think I won in Budapest in 2010 because he fell asleep at the restart. He got a penalty because he wasn’t close enough to the safety car.”

“But he was also not good at the pit entrance. But I had much more weaknesses than him. He had many amazing qualities and was able to kick my butt in so many other areas,” he concluded. (Translated from German via Google)

But, every cloud has a silver lining, and for Vettel that was the 2021 Azerbaijan Grand Prix. The German driver secured a second-place finish; giving Aston Martin their first podium of the season.
