Vettel 'will flourish' after leaving Ferrari
Oct.12 - Sebastian Vettel "will flourish" at Aston Martin next year, according to the quadruple world champion's next F1 team boss.
Currently struggling alongside Charles Leclerc after Ferrari decided to oust him for 2021, Vettel has been signed by Racing Point - which will be rebranded as Aston Martin.
In the last days, 33-year-old Vettel lamented that there were "fights I shouldn't have picked" with Ferrari management.
Otmar Szafnauer, his next boss, thinks the German will revive his old form in 2021.
"In our team, we all pull in the same direction and have a good working atmosphere - a culture in which we don't blame anyone for making a mistake," he told Sport1.
"Seb will like that and I'm sure he will flourish."
That, and the fact that Vettel revealed last weekend that he has even bought shares in Aston Martin, might be interpreted as a clear swipe at Ferrari.
Szafnauer continued: "I do not believe that a 33-year-old driver forgets how to drive a Formula 1 car overnight. It has to be something else.
"We will help him to regain the qualities that made him a champion," Szafnauer said.
"In turn, he will give us the direction in which we have to develop the team and the car. What does a top team like Ferrari and Red Bull do differently to us?
"That will help us to take the next step."

Hope so, but he keeps making mistakes...Time will tell. Leclerc is definitely the more consistent and faster driver now.
Vettel can't stand pressure. First example of this was when in the lead at the Canadian GP, Jenson Button reeled him in and Seb then stuck it in the barriers.He made so mistakes with pressure from Hamilton, you can't list them all here. Danni Rik and Charlie boy have both kicked his butt. Firstly at Red Bull and now at Ferrari. He quit both teams which doesn't show much of a fighter in his makeup. Now he arrives at Aston Martin where his team mate is at best a good driver but certainly doesn't rated in top 8.So maybe he will appear to flourish. If Seb can't blow Lance away he's finished. Put Perez and Vettel in the same Pink Panther, Racing Point, Aston Martin call it what you will, Perez would win, unless it has a double diffuser of course.
Vettel est un top pilote lorsqu'il n'a pas de compétiteur, Leclerc lui a mis la pâtée ! Il est fini, fini ... terminé Vettel qu'il aille piloter ses F1 vintage qui dorment dans son garage !
