The low point was apparently Austria... F1
Sebastian Vettel’s dad says driving at the back ‘accelerated’ F1 retirement thoughtsSebastian Vettel’s father, Norbert Vettel, says being stuck towards the back of the grid played a role in his son’s retirement call.retire at the end of the 2022 seasonVettel has been away from the leading pace in Formula 1 for some time, having not battled at the front with any consistency since 2019.
“It hurt him so much to drive around at the end of the field and that accelerated those thoughts for him.” In the latter years of Vettel’s Formula 1 career, it has been apparent a level of motivation is needed for him to hit top gear, which simply is not provided by scrapping to make the top 10. On the more common race weekend when Aston Martin are somewhere in the mid-to-lower reaches of the midfield, or even in 2020 during his dismal final season with Ferrari, Vettel rarely pumped in the performances a four-time World Champion could be expected to deliver in a car off the pace.
