Formula 1: Gerhard Berger advises Vettel to resign
But Gerhard Berger thinks little of it. The 60-year-old knows what's going on, has been in the business for a long time and has won ten Grand Prix as an active driver. The Austrian advises Vettel against moving to the British. He even recommends him to end his career entirely. That's how he would do it. "As a four-time world champion who has never been injured, who has a family who has had a good income, I would rather make the decision and say: 'Okay, bye-bye!'", Berger said in an interview with Sky. Today's head of the DTM is of the opinion that Vettel should only continue if he can get a car with which to compete for titles. "And I don't see that at the moment," he clarified.

- Jens Munser Designs (@JMD_helmets) August 22, 2020Berger doubts that Racing Point will be so competitive next season to be a threat to the established teams. In addition, it is difficult to get hold of a cockpit there. The current drivers Sergio Perez and Lance Stroll would have to be released from their current contracts. The former Formula 1 driver brings another option for Vettel into play. In addition to resigning, the Heppenheimer could also take a year off.
Ferrari-Zoff - Berger zu Vettel: "You have to go through there"
Because of the quarrel with Ferrari, Berger also has a few tips ready for Vettel . “If one of them leaves the team at the end of the year anyway and the other means the future, you usually choose the weakest, or you choose the one that is no longer relevant for the future. That's where you let go of frustration - regardless of whether it's the technicians or the results, ”believes the 60-year-old. The former Ferrari driver draws parallels to his active time and Vettel's current problems: “In every race I fought to somehow get it over the stage to get it over with. He will have exactly the same thoughts now. You have to go through there. ” * Tz.de is part of the Ippen-Digital network
