At the Emilia GP press conference, the Aston Martin boss said: “He’s had different drivetrains, so a little drivability, but I think we’re on top now. Just the general feel and balance of the car. “

Lance has been driving our car for several years and he knows exactly what to expect and how the car will behave, which is a lot different from what Seb is used to, but he made it, ”concluded Otmar.

The German is aiming for a clean race in Portugal

Vettel will try to finish the Portuguese GP without incident and even aim for some points in the process. He is also optimistic about the use of the car on the race track and is looking forward to it.

As quoted by PlanetF1, Vettel said, “I think Portimão is a good place to go for a clean weekend. The circuit is a high speed autodrome; very smooth and with a lot of slope. It’s fun to drive and I think it will be a good place to get a better handle on the AMR21’s limits. “

“I know that I don’t have to get the maximum out of the car just yet, but the fact that we understand that this is another good reason to keep pushing,” explained Sebastian.

The four-time world champion wants to get back on his feet in Portugal and find his old form. The Silverstone-based team hopes that Vettel will get the most out of the car at the upcoming Grand Prix.
