Why 2021 is a ‘Legacy Defining’ Season for Vettel at Aston Martin
My Livery reaction over on the Veloce channel: • Video
Vettel and Aston Martin will undoubtably be one of the biggest talking points in 2021, the new partnership and re-introduction of the Aston Martin brand has given the team a new lease of life but for Seb, 2021 is an important season in which he needs to bounce back after the way things ended at Ferrari, because if he doesn't, that could then have a very negative effect on his F1 legacy...

You have to give it to Lawrence Stroll for taking a team that was going to disappear to bringing Aston Martin back to F1
Despite all the things that get said about him and Lance, you can't deny they love racing.
@@notsomalicious4435 definitely. One does not simply own a race track without real passion in racing
Stroll had taken way too much unjustified criticisms over the years to be honest. Lance constantly fight on the top of midfield, while Lawrence managed and brought a dying team not only back to life but as one of the focal points of the sport.
I agree. People forget Lance is only 22. I'm not comparing him to these greats, but keep in mind Senna made his F1 debut at 24, Prost at 25, Nigel Mansell at 27 (!) and both Michael Schumacher and Lewis Hamilton at 22. So Lance has plenty of time left to prove himself.
@@lukeearthcrawler896 Steady on, I said we can't deny they don't love racing, they're still no angels. Buying a team on part for your son to race for is still pretty ridiculous and unfair to people who are equally or more talented but don't get a shot because they don't have the money. Lance is still the biggest pay driver in F1 history, it's just bringing back Aston Martin and the arrival of the Mazepin's has taken the heat off them a bit.
Gentle reminder that Seb was teammates with Kimi Raikonnen who also was a world champion.
I have nonidea how aldas didn't make that. Kimi was a beast of a driver.
Nah kimi was was trash. He was just slow in general when seb was there
@@KingdomChablo to be fair to the guy, Kimi was in his late 30s and years past his prime, and yet still outperformed Bottas in 2018.
@@KingdomChablo and he always came to life at monaco especially
@@izzad777 i think he meant in the sense of young and fast team mates but idk. I have to say that i rate danny ric higher than button and rosberg despite him not having a world title. It's going to be interesting how the perception of the seasons ,seb and charle had together, would change if charles becomes a multiple champion
I'm a simple man. I see an Aldas video about Seb and I click.
I don't see Seb's or Fernando's situations all that dire for them. They both know they don't have cars that are capable of winning the championship but more importantly, both Alpine and Aston will not put pressure on the two even for wins. Thus, both should have a pretty happy and relaxed season. Their goals are the same: snatch a few podiums and be in the thick of F1.5. It's a very different team mentality compared to Ferrari where no matter how bad the red tractor was, they were expected to win. My prediction: 2021 will be the happiest and most relaxed F1 season for Seb, Fernando and even Daniel. I worry far more for Carlos and Checo.
Sebs legacy has been pretty tarnished, so this next chapter he has to bounce back after many years of suffering
carlos p2 monaco ,checo p1 baku, vettel p2 baku so happy for them.
"Seb has plenty of years left in the tank." I don't know about you but hearing Aldas say those words so...reassuring.
Aldas back at it again with the almighty Vettel
-In his first full year, in 2008, with a middle of the table team, Toro Rosso, got his first pole and first win, in a brilliant wet weather race where he led from start to finish, despite not having anywhere near the best package. Became, and still is, the youngest pole sitter in F1 history, despite the amount of young talent F1 has had for the past few years. -In his first year for Red Bull and in a top team, he scored their first pole and win, and placed 2nd in the drivers behind Jenson Button who got an overwhelming lead in the championship thanks to the Brawn's Double Difuser and overall optimal package. -In his next year he became a world champion, then a 2nd time world champion, and a 3rd and a 4th... In 2011, he got, and still has, the record for driver with most poles in a season, with 15. In 2013, he equaled Michael Schumacher for driver with the most wins in a season, and still has that record to date. He also is the only driver in the history of the sport to get 9 wins in a row in a single season. -In his first year at Ferrari, despite the package being nowhere even close to the only title contenders Mercedes, he was still splitting the duo Merc drivers in the championship up until the USA GP (17 races in the season)... He got 3 wins, the only one in that season to get wins aside from the Mercedes drivers, and also became the 1st driver to get a pole with a non-Mercedes engine car in the hybrid era. -He became the 3rd most successful Ferrari driver in terms of race wins, only behind the GOAT Michael and the Legend, Niki Lauda. -So far, still the only driver in 8 years of the shitty Hybrid Era to place 2nd in the drivers championship, that was not a Mercedes driver. I'm sorry, but his legacy will never be tarnished... What can be tarnished is his performance after 2018 which clearly got a slump and from what we can tell, majority of that blame lying in how Ferrari handled him. He certainly isn't the strongest driver in terms of mentality, but he however is for damn certain one of the very best in the actual craft of driving a car and probably the best at working with the team and get into the car details. Ferrari however did not provide the environment he needed... Arrivabene at one point even stated that "drivers should just focus on driving the car"... Clearly evidencing that they were not working with Seb like Red Bull was when it came to developing the car and fine-tuning it.
anyone here after seb got his first podium in Baku?
I think with a team that acknowledges Vettel and a car that suits his driving style he has a good chance of coming back to his early Ferrari days ps. love these types of videos where you talk about drivers' careers find them interesting
Interesting fact when looking at "his last few years at ferrari", when thinking about if he is up there with the likes of leclerc an verstappen, many people tend to forget that he would have beaten charles in 2019 if you'd adjust for technical problems. Yes, I usually don't like to bring this up, because it is part of racing, but in this case I think many people really underestimate his 2019 season, because of their high expectations at the beginning of it and leclercs higher win count (he just was a lot more in the spotlight). But you must not forget that we today talk about leclerc as " one of the greats of his generation" and seb basically matched him in 2019, even if you don't adjust for tecnical. problems. [Seb: 240; Charles: 264] Can you really lose that skill in one year? And yes I like seb but I also think my point is quite objective
I absolutely agree with you. Yes, he really did not destroy Leclerc or something but he also wasn't completely outperformed by him and without his bad luck with reliability and some let's say questionable decisions of the race control he proppably would have won in Monaco, Russia and Canada. So yes, he got beaten by Leclerc, by a difference of 24 points (which is still a lot less than the gap between Hamilton and Bottas), in 2019 but it is funny from some people to say that on the one hand you can not just look at the statistics of his four world championships (and by the way three vice championships in 2009, 2017 and 2018), but on the other hand the same people just look at the stats when saying Leclerc beat him in 2019, which is true but not the whole story. And I also feel that drive to survive made it look like Seb's time is over and while he only made mistakes Leclerc would be kind of a god in the car. Drive to survive mentioned almoust all of Leclerc's highs but just the lowest of Vettel's lows like his mistakes in Italy or Brazil or his "egoistic" behavior in Russia. And no question, these things happened but drive to survive did not show things like Vettel's fight back from p 20 to p 2 in Hockenheim or didn't even mention that Vettel would have won in Monaco. They made it look like Hamilton easily won and Vettel didn't exist or something. And I think this strange presentation of the truth by drive to survive also makes some people think Vettel's 2019 season was worse than it actually was. Yes, it was by far not his best but it also wasn't that bad, especially against Leclerc and he still performed a lot better against Leclerc than he did against Ricciardo in 2014. And I fully agree with people who say Leclerc comfortably beat Vetel in 2020 (where he still didn't whitewash him, not in qualli and not in the races), but I think it is kind of unfair to just say Vettel is so bad because of his results compared to Leclerc in 2019.
@@elevenpro7989 yeah with drive to survive you can really tell that they are trying so hard to maximize on drama instead of giving a clear picture and having a 4 time world champion "destroyed" by a new guy just fits perfectly in their show. Still fun to watch though, but as you said, for some people this really distorts their view. It wasn’t only drive to survive, it basically was all media writing seb off, because he lost on paper.
@@SpeederSiehtAlles Yes, I also still like watching the show but it is not a serious documentation. Proppably because as you said drama gets more attention.
It was leclerc 2nd year in f1 and first year at Ferrari if Vettel was as good as his fanboys say then he should have wiped the floor with him
@@shaggydoggs Yes Vettel should have beaten Leclerc but Leclerc isn't just random driver you can just destroy like nothing. Alonso also didn´t beat Hamilton in 2007 and he was the defending 2 time world champion at the time and Vettel also beat Webber in his first year at Red Bull. Hamilton was in real charge for the title in his rookie season, Vettel also had really good chances at his first season for a top team and Leclerc also propably would have had the chance if he got a good enogh car in his first Ferrari season. So yeah, Vettel should have beaten Leclerc, but it is still better to get beaten by 24 Points from Leclerc than getting beaten by 24 Points from people like Albon or Gasly, who are also solid drivers but just not Leclercs level.
Quick reminder: Vettel qualified on pole in a Toro Rosso and won the race the next day
Even if he is beaten by Lance, you can't win 4 titles only by luck. Maybe he is a kind of Jacques Villeneuve, incredibly fast at the starpf his career, and getting less and less fast. Anyway, Sunshine will always be my favorite personality in the modern area of formula one...
I would just love to see seb win a fifth title
P2 IN BAKU BABY, P2 LET'S GOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO
His legacy is he's the youngest 4 time champion and still has records that the "goat" hamilton is still yet to break despite having in a more dominant car
^^
Lewis doesn't make repeated mistakes that cost race wins, fail during wheel to wheel combat consistently, get beaten twice by junior team mates (see his first season in F1 against Alonso) and has shown huge development as a driver since his own equally impressive junior days. I cannot say the same for Seb, all this nonsense GOAT discussion aside.
@@subsilkdj vettel literally beat hamilton in wheel to wheel battles multiple times. Stop this nonsense. Hamilton used to be mistake prone also it only stopped after 2014 when he could cruise around at the front
@@thebarcaboardroom406 yeah that's when he was younger all drivers makes mistakes but seb and Romain on another level in the last 3 season when it comes to mistakes
@@thebarcaboardroom406 all drivers have beaten each other at some point in wheel to wheel combat - as you know tyre temps, wear, strategy etc. Hamilton has improved - he did used to be more error prone you are spot on. This is my point they both had great starts in F1 but Hamilton has moved forwards, got consistent, become smarter behind the wheel to use all of his speed consistently.... and Vettel backwards in terms of making mistakes, losing control of the car, doing stupid things (safety car bump to Lewis), getting beaten by team mates .... this is not what we expected/hoped for Seb. I want him to recapture his form but I can't personally see how other than being a Vettel fanatic you could say he is comparable to Hamilton in the last 4-5 years.
I really can't see Lance getting close to Seb, but tbh I dont think it makes much difference to his legacy
I hope not, but it’ll really affect his legacy even if he’s new to the team he needs to be the top dog. Every “world title” driver has to dominate their team even on its first season on a team.
I would love to see vet, ver, and ric battle for podiums.
That aged well.
@@fintonmainz7845 even better now
Anyone here after his brilliant baku podium
I think Seb and Lance might bring out the best in eachother both on and off track. I swear I've never seen/heard Lance so alive and eager and Seb has his soft happy content smile back. Watching him decline last year was very sad, he just looked tired and beaten. I hope he has a good year and can at least be happy and thriving.
I think Seb gets it fairly rough sometimes. Both Leclerc and Ricciardo are world class drivers, I don’t think you could say Hamilton would 100% beat them in the same machinery! 🤔
i agree, but i still think, that him being beaten by both of them shows, that he isn't one of the all-time greats. imo lewis, max, charles, daniel and fernando are almost at the same level and all of them are world class drivers. seb only raced against two of them and lost against both of them even though they were new to the team and had far less experience. so for me seb right now is a solid midfield driver but if you'd list him amongst the all-time greats, daniel, charles and max should also be praised as some of the best drivers ever and if so many drivers are rated this way, the term "all-time great" is definetely unfitting even though I gotta admit, that seb gets far too much hate
@@yirgadamtew absolutely, on his day he can be world class but he lacks the consistency under pressure which the greats you mentioned can produce! There is a great era of drivers on the grid at the moment it’s a shame we can’t seem them in some sort of equal machinery.. the racing would be just amazing!
Hamilton beat Fernando Alonso right after he won back to back championships in the same machinery. I'd say if he did that as a rookie he could've and probably would've beat Riccardo and Leclerc
The problem isn't that he was beaten, the bigger problem is the way how he was beaten by both of them and it was very one - sided in case of 2014 and 2020.
@@d.a.5135 yeah he was beaten very comfortably in both cases. He drops his head when things go badly for him. But it would be fair to point out in both of those years he was leaving Red Bull and Ferrari, if he has a great year this year I think it really shows he is a driver who needs to be in a team environment that fully support him
Great video! But to be fair Kimi won a world championship and Seb always dominated him! Hopefully it will be a great season for him to year and Aston Martin !
Yeah but Kimi's prime ended at the end of 2013 when the next season he got demolished by Alonso, he was never the same after that and that can't be said for Alonso, Button and Rosberg who were all at the peak of there powers against Hamilton
@@Aldas001 very true , do you think Hamilton would have beaten both Ricciardo and Leclerc though? I really believe they are special talents that haven’t been afforded the same machinery and both seem to manage very well under pressure. I know they haven’t won world championships but I think it would be fair to say they are possibly better drivers than bother Button and Rosberg were!
I think Vettel is on the tail end of his peak if not past it but will have a solid season with Aston Martin consistently beating stroll like Perez did
@@cajocomusic Ooooo great question, in terms of Ricciardo I would comfortably back Hamilton just because I think Ham is a better qualifier and better wet weather driver, as far as Leclerc (obs he's still developing), the pre 2017 Hamilton vs the current Leclerc would be a GREAT battle, but the Hamilton we've seen since 2017 would edge out almost anyone. Vettel had a great chance and car in 2018 and couldn't even get close in the end, just shows how mentally though Hamilton has become
@@cajocomusic Would it be fair to say that Ricciardo and Leclerc are possibly better drivers than both Button and Rosberg? I don't think it would at all... i think that's total recency bias and nothing more. Jenson Button was an absolutely fantastic driver that showed his class and ability for years. Obviously he wasn't a swashbuckling overtaker like say Ricciardo but he consistently got the best out of the car and rarely ever made mistakes with such a smooth driving style... hence he was a force in the wet too. Rosberg I could probably agree to though. Rosberg had ability but I think his world title was just as much about circumstance and he knew that really... hence he retired as soon as he won the WDC because he knew that there would be nothing more he could really achieve.
Pretty prophetic till now mate!
Please do me a big solid and talk about the trio rookies, cos I would like to know your thoughts on their chances respectively from your perspective.
*on your next or two videos if you planned to do so.
I second this motion!
" Please do me a big solid and talk about the trio rookies" Mick is going to take a year to get to grips with F1. Mazepin is going to behave like he always has. Fernado is going to be Fernando... oh, wait, you meant Yuki. I've got no opinion on Yuki so will have to watch and see how he progresses.
@@daverussell457 Well, that sums up everything, thanks...
@@charamia9402 I like a big solid motion
Aldas, really like your videos. Your analysis on many F1 topics is often spot on. Keep up your great content! This driver lineup may work but certainly not what I would have chosen to maxamize their success.
No biggie but it’s so weird seeing a yellow T-bar on Vettel’s car lol
Doesn't that mean 2nd driver? How is vettel a 2nd driver behind stroll 💀
Yeah he was also announced second in the car reveal also 👀
@@cajocomusic Wasn’t it just alphabetical
@@TeamSukiyo it could have been! But I was just offering some more evidence to go with the yellow T-Bar :)
Great overview and take.
The 2009-2013 RedBull was Adrian Neweys greatest ever creation
It's honestly a scary thought if Stroll beats Vettel. If that comes to pass, the only explanation would be that all the cars across Vettel's career were significantly better than we thought. It would mean that the 2010 and 2012 Red Bulls were dominant cars that nearly had the titles bottled by two average drivers (Vettel and Webber). It would mean that the 2011 and 2013 Red Bulls were *insanely* dominant. It would mean that the 2015-2018 Ferraris were significantly better than we thought. It would explain how Vettel could go from World Champion to being beaten by a young teammate in Ricciardo. It would explain how Raikkonen could get destroyed by Alonso and then get significantly closer to Vettel. And finally, it would explain how he could get so demolished by Leclerc. Honestly, the more I think about it, the more sense it makes to me and I'm saying this as someone who rooted for Vettel in Ferrari. Alonso should be regretting hard his move from Ferrari.
great analysis as always!!
I love to see Vettel smile again. I'm convinced he still can and also will perform great these next seasons!
Lawrence Stroll single-handedly revitalized the team with a boatload of sponsors, the capability is unmatched. Let alone getting a renowned brand in F1
Best, most complete and impartial f1 analysis around.
I have a feeling that Seb is going to Dominate this year 🔥🤗
Me too have the same feelings
The only place where Seb is going to dominate in 2021 is his bedroom.
I'm getting chills watching the AMR21 on track video! I feel like this is going to be something very big!
I really love the content, and this video was especially great. I am starting to get a little sick of the same repetitive background music though, I think Josh Revell does a great job of this. Like I said though awesome content, thanks Aldas.
I strongly believe that Seb would find his feet extremely quickly at Aston. He would take a few podiums this year. All the best, Seb. Be a 🌟 again.
The current Ferrari and Red Bull have a very sharp front end, at the expense of rear grip. Max and Leclerc love this style, but Vettel was the beast during the front limited days of the double diffuser at Red Bull, and didn’t match this new direction from Ferrari. The current Mercedes concept (and Aston) is to maximise rear grip and to be front limited. This is the style he thrives with. He’ll bounce back quickly. He didn’t want to give Ferrari anything in his last season - he even sold off his entire Ferrari road car collection, as he wanted no further association with Ferrari!
@@JakeM218 That's so true.
@@JakeM218 Complete nonsense to say Charles "loved" the handling of last year's Ferrari. He hated it and spun a lot. He spun less than Seb and was quicker.
@@fintonmainz7845 Same style as 2019, in which Charles not only scored multiple pole positions, but also won multiple races. You don’t win races with a car you’re struggling to drive. Also, all the development parts which maximised front grip, led to quicker lap times from Charles. This style seemed to suit his driving.
I’m not first, I’m not last, But when Aldas uploads, I click *very* fast
They Doubters gonna Drop their Jaws when Seb just gaps the field 😉👍🏻
Imagine him winning at Bahrain like Perez did
@@marcoslukaz5178 Wouldnt that be beautiful to watch :)
And then you woke up.
sweet dreams mate, let see if it turns into a nightmare..
Well?
Ive def grown in my respect for lance, he seems to be quite comfortable in a more supportive role and just likes to learn everything he can from his more experienced teammates and I think its really growing his ability leaps and bounds. This mentality certainly is welcoming for drivers like seb and checo as well
I think a big part of why people underestimate Seb so much is that Alonso once said he wouldn’t win if he had a car like everyone else, but Alonsos salty ass said similar things about pretty much everyone. Seb is a 4 time world champion, the youngest world champion in F1 History, has 53 wins to his name ( the third highest of all times) , and won 3 of his championships with his teammate not being 2nd.
Now that Vettel doesn't have to follow Michaels footsteps by becoming champion in a Ferrari anymore, he will probably drive with a lot less weight on his shoulders.
Can’t wait for this season to start!!
Great video. Congrats Do you think Seb is doing good? He had a great race in Monaco and Baku but do you think he's gonna maintain the form? Thanks
Otmar has said that, in the next 5 years, they hope to be a title challenging team. I feel that, this does seem ambitious, but they are talking about being where Red Bull have the potential of being this year, and where they maybe were (minus Baku) in 2018, rather than being where I feel that McLaren will be at that time (more like Ferrari in 2018, because I like that comparison). Obviously that's if you choose to believe that, he made ridiculous claims like in Abu Dhabi about Sainz, and with Portugal with that... event... (yes if you cannot tell I am a McLaren fan, but also a Vettel fan so god help me next year 😅) Edit: Yes I'm in sPain from the ending lol
I'm soooooo excited and waiting with lots and lots of hope to see seb fighting for the victory...
Best wishes for 2022
Oof the backend of the video was savage
Seb will recover his performance and his great skill as a driver at Aston Martin, he now has the same climate, support and favorable environment that he had at Red Bull and the fact that he no longer has the inhuman pressures for results and titles he suffered at Ferrari, psychologically helps any pilot. I believe that the Aston Martin car is similar to Mercedes, with the stable rear in the style that Vettel likes to drive.
nice vid keep it up!
I thought you said hit the reseb button Love this style of vids.
Perez should also be congratulated for helping saving that team, also.The huge risk he took to do it seems to have been all but forgotten.
Not really, it wasn’t a nice thing that Perez did to force the team into administration. Vijay is still living in London, still hasn’t faced any legal action and still has his millions / billions. Perez acted when Vijay had had his money temporarily frozen and allowed Stroll to come in and take the team. Teams all go through financial difficulty. Lotus didn’t pay Kimi for a whole season - and Kimi didn’t force them into administration. He gave them time and they paid him at the end of the year. McLaren had financial troubles in 2020. Norris and Sainz didn’t force them into administration, instead they requested that McLaren pay them less, in order to support the team. I love seeing the Aston team in its current form, but I do feel for Vijay who achieved pretty remarkable things in F1, and is largely responsible for where the team is today.
Jake M like you said......Vijay still hasn’t payed! Somebody had to go out on a limb and do something.I would imagine Perez’s sponsors would have had a big say in it, too, as they were very heavily invested in that team.They were going under and the only way to save them was to put them into administration, bad though that seems. By doing this Perez took the flack and also , through his actions, saved hundreds of jobs, as the team would have folded.The team and factory crews were really appreciative for what he did. You bring up other drivers wavering their pay or taking a pay cut......this was far more serious than that.Perez doing either of these things wouldn’t have changed anything and the team would still have collapsed. There is probably a lot more to it than that, as Vijay is still wanted by the Indian government. Money talks!
@@kristofevo But Vijays plan was to always take the team out of administration. The only reason it went into administration was when his bank accounts were frozen by the court and he didn’t have access to his own money. He’s still filthy rich, and has offered a lump sum to settle his outstanding legal issues in India. England also has refused all extradition requests made by India, and don’t believe the Indian trial is valid. If Perez had of taken no action, the team would have been saved by Vijay the following month when he got his money back.
I don't even know if its fair to say that Vettel wasn't good at Ferrari, up against the most statistically dominate team in F1 history he was the first to split their 1- 2 championship finishes in 2017. Still in a car weaker overall then Hamilton he wasn't able to bring it home, Vettel was given just one chance one year to beat Merc, I think he knew it and the pressure finally snapped in Germany. After the lost of momentum he ends up second, still the only two years in the era the Mercs were split in the Championship. Its just like Ricky Bobby used to say: "If you ain't first yur last" its a shame that people won't remember that when talking about Sebs legacy.
What cost Racing point 3rd was when they lost points at silverstone because of Renault with all that brake bucks stuff at the beginning of the season,
Sincerely hoping Seb has an incredible year!
I'm a Lewis fan, but the way people now rate Vettel lower than driver like Max and Charles is disrespectful. Max had already been here for 6 seasons and only won 10 races .Charles competed 3 seasons and won 2 races. Vettel had won a race in Toro Rosso before Red Bull. Vettel had a bad year in 2020 it doesn't mean he's finished. Next year the regulations and car will change and I'm sure we'll see him in the podium most of the time in 2022. I used to hate him because he won almost everything between 2010 to 2013 specially in 2011 and 2013 where he dominated like a beast. Even Niki and Prost won championship in their final F1 years, so there's a chance for him to do well. He deserves all the respect.
Aldas back with a banger but seb said himself he has proved himself but he knows and we know he wants more 😉
Gotta love the cars livery design!
Seb is still the most successful driver in a non-Mercedes car in the turbo hybrid era and during this dominant time, he managed to become Ferrari’s 3rd most successful driver too. Not too bad from him.
AMR21- Amazing Mercedes Reskin 21
Unpopular opinion lance stroll is actually a decent driver with loads of potential.... he just needs some development
Loving what Stroll Snr doing with that team. Would hope they do well.
I would like to mention something about Vettel's 2019 season. Yes, he really did not destroy Leclerc or something but he also wasn't completely outperformed by him and without his bad luck with reliability and some let's say questionable decisions of the race control he proppably would have won in Monaco, Russia and Canada.

Only thing that gives me hope is his performance in Turkey last year. That gave me hope that all is not lost within him. 🙏😭
Fernando's words from 2013 keep coming to my mind....there are interesting times ahead for Sebastian. If he doesn't perform as well as he did in his wonder years, those 4 world titles will be bad news.
Hate on the Stroll’s all you want but you can’t deny, what they & Checo have done to bring Racing Point back from the brink and bring in AMR is pretty awesome to see.
"Golden period" when the car suits him the best. Okay but then what about 2017 and 2018? he almost won the title. That was not the adrian newey rocketship cars and he beat raikkonnen too. So he is not a slow driver or just casual. Just easily loses self-confidence (i think)
He almost won what title? What are you talking about
Vettel’s smile makes me soo happy.
He needs to be backed 100% by a team. He’s getting that here. I think he’ll do well.
He’s also a co-owner of Aston, alongside Stroll. His seat is completely safe, and is being idolised as their star driver. He’ll bounce back quickly! I think his form in 2020 was because he didn’t want to give Ferrari anything. He even sold off his entire Ferrari road car collection recently!
@@JakeM218 wow I didn’t know that he dumped his road car collection. He still seems to shine in the rain
No matter what happens Vettel will go down as one of the best EVER judging him off the seasons from 2018-2021 onwards is stupid no one judges Hamilton entire career from 2011-2013 when he wasent great and same with Schumacher from 2010-2012 we judge them on there best periods but we don’t do the same for Vettel
Yeah but Schumacher was old and 4 years of inactivity tho so thats a excuse. But I agree about hamilton 2011-2013
Ppl seem to completely ignore hamilton's career from 2009-2013 so idk why they won't do the same for vettel
@@thebarcaboardroom406 exactly that’s what I’m saying no one goes around saying those years tarnished he legacy
@@ryn-dav7869 Ppl are hypocrites for them it’s easy to bash on drivers like Seb because it’s still recent and for Lewis he is breaking records being the best it’s hard for ppl to admit it but that’s the truth.
@@thebarcaboardroom406 facts l like how people bering up Hockenheim 2018 but never talk about 2007 With Lewis
6:17 car is pure elegance..
Du Bist 5 time Weltmiester 🙏🏽
"Not even close at any other team", bro did you just started watching f1? He was the only real deal to Lewis in recent years I know he didn't perform well in Ferrari in past 2 years but man before that he nearly outperformed the 'undisputed best car' Mercedes by himself. And by the way the team treated him we shouldn't be surprised that he performed that way, I believe he will make a comeback and proof all those who doubted him.
Can you do a video about how Laurence and Lance went from being hated at Williams to loved at Aston Martin??
Lawrence Stroll is underrated. Change my mind
The only pressure on Seb is the pressure he will put on himself moving forward. People seem to forget that Vettel co-owns Aston Martin, alongside Lawrence Stroll and Toto Wolf.
They should get fourth in Constructors....but Gasly is just awsome.
From the Mercedes car launch it was noticeable that Lewis looks at Seb as the main competition for this season.
He will come back stronger!
I am PRAYING that Vettel does well this year!
What is the name of the music in the background? I like it
I read Mark Webber's book recently and he talk about how Seb was allowed to get away with certain things in his Red Bull days, such as skipping team briefings, or dominating them, and cancelling appearances. Perhaps he was given too much leeway at that point of his career and the Ferrari culture proved more challenging for him. The knock on effect of that and the pressure cooker may have helped cause his spiral. If Aston can then free him of some of those outside stressors, he can recapture his best form and propel the team forward.
Agreed that Seb needs to perform this year. But the whole "Red Bull rocket ships" narrative between 2010-2013 needs to end. They were rocketships in 2011 & 2013 but 2012 & 2010 were very competitive. Winning the 2012 & 2010 championships at the last race took nerves of steel The hockenheim 2018 crash has also been overblown. The real reason Merc won in 2018 was outdeveloping Ferrari in the second half of the season with their wheel rim & passive rear wheel steering innovations. Ferrari also bottled Monza which was the real beginning of the end If anything, Seb's real weakness is his driving style. If the car is suitable for him, he's invincible. If it's not, he's average. His adaptability remains in question
Yup agreed 100%. The 2012 and 2010 red bulls were good but in no way were dominant. His achievements from 2008-2013 shouldn’t be discredited in any way. As you said adaptability and lack of team support is sebs downfall. Now that he has the support at AM, we just have to wait and see if he can adapt to the new car. Also, let’s be real....even if he had won Germany 2018....he wouldn’t have won the title as the mercs were just too good in the second half.
Well guess what SEB is the one who got two podiums rathar than STROLL. This shows that Ferrari was the problem and not him.
I think that Vettel's performance in Turkey shows that he can still shine, however whether he actually does is going to be interesting
Anyone else really want one of the Aston Martin team jackets? damn they look epic
I'd question the legacy set by Schumacher aswell tbh. Like, he won 7 titles and beat every team mate of which he contested a full season within his first sting in the sport. However none of his team mates were future champions or on championship level. And when he finally did come up against a champion calibre driver in rosberg as a team mate, Michael's best years were long behind him. But hey, he won 7 titles with some being contraversial 👍
The AM looks marginally more tightly packaged than the Merc. Hopefully some close racing
This team has a special place in my heart and always will
Why?
Will you do a video about the liveries?
He has done a few livery videos on the Veloce channel. You can check them out.
Can we just thank Lawrence stroll
We need Lamborghini, Porshe and Audi in F1 also I hope the new structure and layout of F1 2022 brings these teams in while keeping the existing teams on the grid that would make F1 so much more exciting!? Anyone agree or disagree?
I am waiting for a Seb comment saying the MB engine is so much better than the Ferrari - to have the last word against Ferrari.
Did Lawrence Stroll buy a team for his son? Probably. But I’ll give him all the credit. Yeah, he saved the team, and now they’re so exciting to see on the grid. F1 is going to be amazing this year. I can’t wait
What's worse, a perfectly fine driver like Lance having a perma spot on the grid or there being one less team? Lawrence Stroll has been a net benefit for F1 as a whole
If time does teach people things? I hope Seb learned to be a bit more patient throughout his career post world championship wins. He is older now, and potentially still in his prime. So if he manages to not get overwhelmed and insecure about his position, takes his time to convert the car into his driving style, then maybe we will have him fighting for the title again. His attitude seems to have changed a bit tbh. I wish to see him more in tune with himself rather than getting overwhelmed by others performances. I saw this change in Lewis when he got defeated by Nico. He became far more patient and honed his driving style to fit that mercedes cars. Since his 2017 campaign he has been an unstoppable force because he learned humility. Seb's success in his 4 back to back title wins really made him weaker because he thought of himself to be invincible. Let's hope he is renewed and get his mojo back to potentially get more wins.
In F1. Ultimately championships are won based on car. Who ever has the best car wins.
Vettel did what he needed already he just deserves a healthy environment
I believe in you seb, always have been always will be💚💚
"Form is temporary class is irreplacable" everyone says how seb looses against young team mates but every time he lost to them he was in car that was badly for him and had fight with the team plus it was big change of rules 2014 and 2019 it was pretty big and teams changed highly changed concepts and seb was in same kind of mchinery in whole life and wasnt able to get his adabtybility better plus he in 2019 wasn't so young and some things just go with age in 2015 we saw when he got used to the car he was a star in 2009 it was the same some mistakes as a young driver plus getting used to new cars demoted him getting his 1st championship faster 2020 on the other hand was hard to change this car was a struggle and even tho leclerc could seb said himself that he dont know how he do that i think in 2021 we see seb like in ferrari maybe little weaker but i dont care weather he wins against lance or not but i hope lance setp onto another level and he will challenge seb not bc seb is bad but lance got that good I love aston Martin livery
9:12 I'm so scared 😰
Music In Video?
There is no way to question a 4 time champion, you can question his position in f1 but not his (quite vast) achievements. Contrast say Seb vs Kimi and where their paths lead to..
