Sebastian Vettel will not play a significant role in the championship in 2021. Aston Martin is not nearly as fast as hoped. The German does hope that it will be a nice battle between rivals Lewis Hamilton and Max Verstappen.
Aston Martin must improve
"We are not where we want to be," Vettel is quoted as saying by Motorsport-Total.com. "It's no secret that we expected to be stronger than we are this year." The four-time world champion says things were a little better in Portugal in qualifying, but it's still not enough.
"We know there is still a lot of work to do," Vettel continued. After finally getting to Q3 in Portugal after fifteen races, Vettel lost many positions in the race. As a result, he is still without points in the driver standings.
