Ferrari and the German had a shambolic year this season. Scoring podiums was yet far away, the Scuderia struggled to keep both its cars on the points tally. With Sebastian crawling among the tail enders, he was making it hard for the Italians.

Sebastian Vettel and Aston Martin- Redemption Year
Sebastian Vettel had some glorious moments with Ferrari. All the years he had been with them, none was so mentally draining as this year. When the Italians sacked him it surprised Vettel and then the secrecy within his team hurt him further. The result, his failing form.
The negative spiral that dwells in the German’s psyche at this point is harmful for him. His insecurity, with his style from a failing SF1000, will drown the racer further into the swamp of failure. However, as Szafnauer had pointed out, a little love can get Vettel back again.

Well, his improvement towards the last segment this year, and Charles’ words literally states that he is far from done. Looking forward to seeing him on the podium again.
