Sebastian Vettel has had a rather difficult year. It was revealed relatively early in the 2020 season that he was being sidelined by Ferrari and the red car’s disappointing performance meant the four-time champion couldn’t do much. His move to Aston Martin was accompanied by difficult races at the beginning of the season, but now the turnaround could have been successful.
He needed that feeling
The German became “Driver of the Day” in Monaco and crossed the finish line in fifth, his best performance in a very long time. That will have given the driver a good sense of achievement and that is exactly what the German may have to push again. After all, he still has it under control, at least that’s what the former Formula 1 driver Marc Surer thinks.

In a video analysis by Formel1.de, Surer says: “He really needed this sense of achievement. He’s been driving backwards for a year. It was really sad to see. Now with a result like this, in which he also checked” his team-mate the whole thing Weekend, I think the knot is tied. “
One with the car
Monaco is a tricky track because a small mistake can be catastrophic. Just look at Charles Leclerc, who saw a possible win go up in smoke. To get the most out of Monaco you need to be up to date and trust in your car is key here. Vettel has clearly shown that, Surer continues: “In Monaco you can only be fast if you are one with the car.”
And that has always been Vettel’s problem. The car has to suit him, because adapting to a car that doesn’t suit him is his weakness, Surer analyzes. “He needs the car that suits him. He can’t adapt to every car. I think that’s his weakness. On the other hand, it’s also his strength when the car really suits him. Then it’s difficult for him to beat. “
With the good performance in Monaco, Vettel has proven his skills. Whether this is really a turning point remains to be seen in the coming races. It is clear that Vettel now feels more comfortable in the Aston Martin, which is the key to success.
