Palmer: I don’t know if Vettel will finish the 2020 season at Ferrari
Former Formula 1 racer Jolyon Palmer considers that a toxic situation could Vettel in Ferrari led to the German leaving the team sooner. “I don't know if he can finish the season with Ferrari,”Is Palmer said through a podcast "Checked Flag" at BBC Five Live. "It is becoming more and more toxic day by day and not just in racing. In fact, it works very poorly compared to Charles Leclerc, who is the golden boy at Ferrari. Leclerc is in his second year on the team and has already overtaken Vettl in the first. They have made a lucrative contract with him and it can be seen how their man is moving forward."
Palmer continues: “Vettel, meanwhile, is leaving the team and is really trying to score at least a point now. He was barely among the points winners in four races and only in Hungary did he show all the possibilities to win better points, but even then he drove off the track twice. Vettel believes there is something wrong with his race car and this was evident in his post-race statements as well, which only leads to it becoming increasingly tense between him and Ferrari."
The toxic atmosphere at Ferrari is nothing new
Former Formula 1 mechanic Marc Priestley assumes it could be a situation Vettel in Ferrari just the tip of the iceberg and the symbolism of a deeper problem within the team and its work environment. “In terms of the breakdown of relations, this is not a new problem for Ferrari,”He says priestley. "People have talked about the toxic environment in Ferrari before and that may be a sign of that. This is something that can be deeper than just the surface level between the team and current racer Vettl."
