Unbelievable, but true: from August 26, 2018 Sebastian Vettel waiting for a new victory in Formulas 1. That’s when the German managed to win the race for GP of Belgium v Spa-Francorchamps - in front of his rival Lewis Hamilton. Drought period Ferrari star now takes already 20 dirk, from Italy 2018 to Hungary 2019.
Probably some are wondering if this is the longest drought period four-time champion? No. The German is v he was left without a win throughout the 2014 season, which was not given to him at the opening race of the 2015 season in Melbourne, so this phase also lasted 20 races. Hag is before that in 2013 got the final race in Brazil and it was the end of an amazing series nine wins in a row, which only the legendary managed to do Albert Ascari.
One year without a win, that’s for a top racer like him Hag certainly painful, but the German is very far away from the record. He had to show the greatest patience between the two victories Riccardo Patrese. Since winning the final race of the season 1983 in South Africa (for Brabham-BMW) and to re-succeed in Imoli in 1990 (for Willaims-Renault), is over 99 dirk ali 6 let in 210 days.
Kimi Raikkonen, a former teammate Sebastian Vettl, had to wait even 115 dirkthat he found himself on the top step again. However, the duration was shorter, because today there are significantly more races on the calendar than was the case at the time. Patrese.
