F1, Aston Martin: Sebastian Vettel warns Fernando Alonso

Vettel warns Alonso

Sebastian Vettel, Aston Martin driver close to retirement from Formula 1, gave an interview to the official website of the British racing team.

The four-time world champion first analyzed the still ongoing season: “There was a great opportunity this year with the regulatory changes, but we fell into the same trap as many others. Some were probably a little luckier, designing a car with a ride height that worked better. Now we have these rules until 2026, so the teams that had a good start will have an advantage over those that had a bad start.”

The German driver then issued a warning to his “successor” at Aston Martin, Fernando Alonso: “Having the budget cap means you can’t throw money and resources at the problem to catch up.”

It was Sebastian Vettel who was the first driver to win a world championship with Red Bull. The German put everyone in line for four years in a row, from 2010 to 2013. The Austrian stable returned to success in 2021 thanks to Dutchman Max Verstappen, with the son of art repeating the following year. If there was a battle to the last in 2021, that was not the case in 2022.
