Munich / Silverstone - For Sebastian Vettel *This season is anything but smooth in Formula 1 * . After a little point in the previous week, the Heppenheimer won the anniversary race in Silverstone *nothing to get, in the end was 12th. The Ferrari * is simply not competitive these days and that frustrates the ex-world champion.
After a good start, Vettel was suddenly last . What happened? Vettel rushed too far over a curb with his bolide and got into the sand, resulting in a spin . The ex-world champion had to roll up the field from behind.
Vettel frustration: is the ex-world champion only number two in the team?
Vettel fought back and found the connection. “I got back to the field surprisingly quickly. From then on, I don't think we did a good job today in terms of strategy , ”he said at RTL . But already in Round 23 of the four-time world champion of his crew at the box brought, even though Vettel warned that his tires were still intact . “It (the strategy) allowed Charles to move forward. Overall, it was the right decision for the team, and we don't think that Sebastian was at a disadvantage, ”explained team principal Mattia Binotto.
Vettel should have understood that as a clear sign that Ferrari will rely fully on the young Charles Leclerc in his last year of contract with Scuderia . Incidentally, the Monegasse confirmed their trust with fourth place . Vettel could not come to terms with this decision even after the race and railed at RTL : "I think we didn't have the courage to let Charles overtake me, even though he was on a different strategy. They preferred to call me on the pits to get around it, and from then on it was a bit of a quark . I think we could have made up a lot more ground today with the botched first lap. "

Vettel reluctantly drove to the pits, back on the slopes it broke out of the ambitious ex-world champion. Vettel could no longer hold back and attacked his team directly via radio * . “We're just as stuck in traffic as we actually didn't want to. We discussed that this morning. You know you screwed that up, ”the 33-year-old scolded.
The tablecloth between Vettel and Suderia Ferrari, especially team boss Mattia Binotto, is likely to be cut up after the recent derailments. In the previous week, Vettel was so annoyed by Binotto that he completely ignored him after the race * and only after 17 excruciatingly long seconds and at the request of another team member addressed conciliatory words to the crew via radio.
