Vettel: Aston Martin giving up F1 in 2021 would be a “missed opportunity” | F1

Aston Martin has had a hot start to the season and only scored five points in the first four races.

Vettel has not yet missed the mark in 2021 while Lance Stroll has scored all of the team’s points.

Aston Martin appears to be the team hardest hit by the soil changes for 2021. Last season ended as the third fastest team when it was still called Racing Point.

Vettel says it would be wrong to switch completely to next year because he and the team can still learn a lot.

“I don’t think, not just now, but in life in general, that shortcuts will help you a big thing,” said Vettel last weekend in Barcelona.

“I think, like I said, there are so many things we can still learn and we can still have a better understanding as a team. It would be a wasted opportunity now. The question, of course, is how do you measure the odds, whether you are measuring podiums, points or wins or some other currency so that we as a team can still improve a lot of little things, but in the end it’s little things that make a difference and lead to perfection.

“Even if we’re not in positions we’d like, it’s still time well spent.”

Despite Aston Martin’s difficult start to the season, Vettel also showed that the spirit in the team is still strong.

“Well, I think it’s not a secret that we expected to get stronger this year, obviously for reasons we aren’t, so that’s what it is,” added Vettel.

“I think we can grow as a team, there are a lot of little things that we can improve. I think the whole group is still very excited. The spirit is great so I’m happy even though the performance isn’t going where we all wanted to be, but we’ve accepted that and we’ll try to do the best from there. “
