At first glance, of course, seen from the outside, this year's winter break for Sebastian Vettl it was not easy. Reviews at the expense of his performances last season were great, especially, how else, in Italy, and on top of that is his teammate Charles Leclerc received a new contract before the end of the year 2024. This made it clear to whom Ferrari belongs to the future. But Hag it is still far from making its own successful career concluded so does not sound. Instead, it’s in the winter break worked on himself, and put the 2019 season in a drawer. “It was good to have some peace to get to myself. I hope it gets better this year,He said Nemec in an interview for German television RTL.
It is before the start of this year's championship Hag quite frankly admitted that last season also from his side she was not good. “Too many little things, too much unrest. Of course, on the one hand you try to push the car forward, but unfortunately on the other hand you also make minor mistakes. I can say it wasn’t exactly good. Because of this, I went deep into last season, because I can say that it was a slight break. In 2017 and 2018, there was this growing trend, but where as a team we were not strong enough to keep up with Mercedes. In 2019, however, we were far away from where we wanted to be. Of course, it was a bitter blow here."
It is special Vettel it hurt the fact that he was already in his first year against the rookie Ferrari to Charles Leclerc in a subordinate position. But in the 2019 season Nemec he didn’t get the best he could out of himself. Also because of his Ferrari SF-90 in view of the front axle it did not correspond to his driving style. "In terms of balance, we had problems last year. The ass was noticeably unstable. This was clear at the beginning of the year. We tried a lot, but unfortunately we failed to get to the green branch. That was also the main reason. Our weakness was the bends, especially the slow ones. And here was our focus for the 2020 season. I think this year’s race car is a tangible step forward. Maybe a bit to the detriment of our advantage on the planes. I believe we have a race car this year that we can set up significantly better,He added Hag, which is on its new tool SF1000 noticed some great solutions.
As a racer Ferrari he is aware that nothing less is expected of him than that title of champion. The project, which Hag he will not tackle as a racer this year number one. To be with Leclerc this year had the same starting point, that Vettel do not disturb. “I believe that makes no difference. We both have the same race car and the same assumptions. The rest will be cleared on the track,”He explained Nemec and underlines: "I don’t worry about that in that regard. I don't have to hide.”And something positive for him good atmosphere: Rumors of hot flirtation between Ferrari in Lewis Hamilton, who cared for a guilty conscience and unrest towards the end of last year, are for once finished.
Because the team boss Mattia Binotto he publicly stood up for on Tuesday Vettel and explained that he has Nemec advantage in terms of season 2021. “At that time, the situation was such that”Is Hag he shrugged at the question of whether he would a new era of Formula 1 from 2021 onwards, together with Ferrari. “Of course, I’m focusing on the 2020 season first, not least because the season hasn’t even started yet. But I will definitely have enough time to talk about it as well and make a decision. At that moment I would say: Yes."
