The double whammy that is defining Vettel’s F1 fate
It's been a tough start to Sebastian Vettel's Aston Martin F1 career, with a lack of pre-season testing mileage followed by an incident-packed Bahrain GP. But two key underlying factors mean a turnaround is no guarantee.
Sebastian Vettel needs no reminding that in Formula 1 you are only as good as your last race. Being labelled as grand prix racing’s biggest star, or its biggest chump, can so often happen based on just a single weekend’s performance.
So as the four-time world champion heads to Imola after a bruising outing in Bahrain, it’s no real surprise that he isn’t surrounded by the kind of mega hype that has accompanied Yuki Tsunoda after his stunning debut F1 weekend in Bahrain. Instead, Vettel is in need of a boost after a challenging first few weeks for Aston Martin that have left him firmly on the back foot.
