Vettel after Aston Martin announcement: the end of his career was “near”

He was “close” to saying goodbye to Formula 1, said Vettel, looking at the past few weeks. Since Thursday it has now been clear that he will remain in Formula 1 despite being ousted from Ferrari at the end of the year. “I had a lot of thoughts because I had to do what was best for me,” said Vettel in the run-up to the Grand Prix in Mugello (Sunday, 15.10:XNUMX p.m.): “But I am now convinced that the step to Aston Martin is the right one. And I’m looking forward to proving it.” The comeback of the luxury English brand, which was last represented in the premier class in 1960, is “one of the most exciting stories that could happen to Formula 1. And it’s great to be a part of it.” This year, still under the name Racing Point, the racing team surprised with strong results. However, the team currently draws its strength from the fact that it has built a very good copy of last year's Mercedes. Something like this should no longer be possible in the future. Vettel is still unconcerned. “That doesn’t play a big role for me,” he said, “I’m convinced of the team and its strength. They haven't had nearly as much money as the big guys in recent years, and they've still done an excellent job. You can prove a lot of things to a lot of people.” Starting next season, a budget cap will be gradually introduced in Formula 1, which is intended to ensure equal opportunities between Mercedes, Red Bull and Ferrari on the one hand and the rest of the field on the other. Aston Martin will “grow while others have to shrink, that makes me confident,” said Vettel.
