“I think this whining should be over. Nobody cares,” former Ralf Schumacher told Sport1.de.
Vettel, who only stood once on the podium last year and experienced one of the worst seasons after finishing 13th, was also considering the end of his career. In the end, however, he was seduced by a new project by multimillionaire Lawrence Stroll, who returned the famous Aston Martin brand to F1 after 61 years.

However, the start in the new environment did not work for the 33-year-old German. In Bahrain, he was penalized for a collision with Esteban Ocon, finished far from the points and had difficulty qualifying. He didn’t even make it to the second part. He even started at the end due to a violation of the yellow flags. The performance difference was further exacerbated by his teammate Lance Stroll, who finished in tenth place.

“I’m sorry about Sebastian. There’s definitely a problem with his car and it will take time for everything to work out. However, no one cares about these nostalgia. In addition, we’re in Formula 1 and he’ll make a lot of money. “Even though the Aston Martin doesn’t look like a winning car, it now has to calm down, sit down with its partner and the next one will come in time,” Schumacher advised.
The experienced Vettel last dominated the championship in 2013 with the Red Bull monopost. However, after leaving for Ferrari, he could not stop in a direct battle for the title of Lewis Hamilton from Mercedes, and experts criticized him for making a large number of mistakes at key moments. Former rider Gerhard Berger has now pointed this out, noting that “Sebastian doesn’t like pressure.”

This is one of the reasons why its continuous continuation in Formula 1 surprised some officials. “My opinion, which I said before, is that he should have taken a year off, take it over and ask himself what he wants,” said Helmut Marko, his former boss and Red Bull consultant, in an interview with Formel1.de. “I believe he would have a lot of options in F1 next year. But he didn’t, and now he’s in Aston Martin, which has similar problems to Mercedes,” Marko said of the design of the lower incline, which Aston Martin will have to eliminate as much as possible during the season .
The next race, the Emilia Romagna Grand Prix, takes place on April 18.
