Sebastian Vettel started a new career in his career at Aston Martin during a turbulent season for the team. The car was massively compromised after the ground rules were changed and it had a significant impact on the team. Let’s see how the German fared in the 2021 F1 season, in a car that was at the bottom of the midfield.
How did Sebastian Vettel’s 2021 F1 season look statistically?
Vettel finished the season in 12th place overall with 43 points. He also made it onto the podium a few times in Baku and Hungary, the latter being withdrawn after the race due to a gasoline violation.
Vettel even lost 18 points with this violation. Otherwise the season would have looked a lot better numerically than what it is doing now.
- Points: 74
- Position: 12.
- Podium: 1
What did Sebastian Vettel do well?
For the four-time world champion, the turning point came at the Monaco Grand Prix. It turned out that the German was finally one with the car and could get the most out of it, if not even more. The drive in Monaco was the classic car Sebastian Vettel, waiting for the right time to push and jump several cars.
He carried the form to Baku and took a well-deserved second place, and the next race in Hungary was just the icing on the cake of the season. After a difficult season at Ferrari in 2020, 2021 was in some ways a return to normal for the German when he showed a glimpse of what he can do in an F1 car.

The 2021 season was not a failure for him. While Vettel covered many of the cracks that were visible to Vettel in 2020, he wasn’t as consistent as he should have been. He still showed weakness when it came to wheel-to-wheel fights.
In addition, Vettel could not enforce the dominance at Aston Martin that one would have expected from him. This made fans believe the German was still not quite at his best.
What’s next in Sebastian Vettel’s F1 season 2022?
The 2022 season is a little unpredictable for Aston Martin with the way the team has operated lately. Even though it redirected its resources to the big rule change earlier than the rest, we need to see if that has any impact on how good the car will be.

What Vettel has shown in 2022 is that the German, if equipped with the right machines, can deliver the goods. It will be interesting to see what kind of car he has available for the next season.
