As quoted by Formula Passion, Marc said: “Vettel did everything right. The problem is the team’s story. They always made mediocre cars. Last year they suddenly had a decent car because it was a 100% copy of Mercedes. “

“Although it can still be seen that the car has the same philosophy as Mercedes, they have made it significantly worse. Vettel probably thought it would take off easily because Mercedes was somehow involved too, ”he concluded. (Translated from Italian via Google)

Will things get better for him at Aston Martin?

The German left Ferrari at the end of last season after a difficult year with the team. A new challenge came to Vettel and he accepted it, but it didn’t look good from the first race.
