Aston Martin had another terrible F1 weekend when they ended out of points in Barcelona. While Lance Stroll was close with eleventh place, Sebastian Vettel managed to get on the checkered flag in 13th.

Vettel ran into the top 10 and wanted to stay in those places. Unfortunately, the think tank Aston Martin pitted him too early for his third set of tires. This did not allow him to have enough life in his facilities to fight for positions at the end of the race.
“In the end, I ran out of tire life even though we opted for the two-stop strategy. I made a pretty early second stop and came out behind Kimi [Räikkönen]In my opinion, that hurt my tires a lot, ”said Vettel after the Grand Prix event.

“That made it difficult to fight for points. In hindsight, it’s always easy to tell what you would do differently, but it was difficult to fight the cars around me in the final laps when they had a tire advantage. “
Sebastian Vettel hopes that they can make progress with a “long season ahead of them”.
The German received his upgrades this weekend after teammate Lance Stroll received them in Portimao. These helped him to take a step forward with his AMR21. Although he was disappointed with qualifying on Saturday, they did what they should.
