Sebastian Vettel admitted that he used to underestimate how tough it is for the teams in the second half of the peloton, but he now knows that from his own experience.
The start of the season for Aston Martin F1 has failed, the team was only able to earn points in the fourth leg, but in Imola both Vettel and his partner Lance Stroll succeeded.
“If you work hard, but at the same time know that you have a good car, it is not that difficult to get good results, for this you have to do everything perfectly,” The Race quoted Sebastian as saying. “But to be honest, for years I underestimated how much work teams have to do at the end of the grid because I hadn’t entered them before.
Everyone in these teams works even harder, but gets no reward after the races. But I’m happy for our team as both cars finished in the top ten at Imola.”
Aston Martin F1 boss Mike Krak sees Vettel as a very valuable member of the team and would like to see the four-time world champion stay in the team next year: “First of all, this is very important for maintaining stability. In addition, it should be noted his attitude to work, his speed and experience. If a team has such a person, it is worth a lot.
Sebastian has many ideas and works very hard. At the same time, he is a realist and soberly assesses our possibilities. In general everything is fine with him as there are other riders who have experience racing at a high level but then they get very impatient and very hard to control. This is not the case with Sebastian, he brings a huge advantage to the team.
