Dr Helmut Marko says he hopes Aston Martin treats Sebastian Vettel fairly in 2021. “He makes an unusual number of mistakes time and time again,” Marko told Sky Deutschland. Racing Point, to become Aston Martin next year, is hopeful leaving the Ferrari atmosphere will trigger a return of the ‘old Vettel’ next year. Marko agrees: “Sebastian is a sensitive person, and although he has been in Formula 1 a long time, this separation was very difficult for him. But Marko is also worried that Vettel could also come unstuck at Aston Martin, even though that team is promising to rally around the 33-year-old German. Marko said of Vettel’s 2021 Aston Martin car: “It will definitely be a competitive package. Marko agrees that Vettel is good for Aston Martin’s image, “but it is even better for Lance Stroll’s image for him to beat a four-time world champion”.
