In contrast to Mercedes, Aston Martin doesn't seem to have recovered from their bad winter test two weeks ago. On Friday in Bahrain, both Lance Stroll and Sebastian Vettel were barely in the top ten. Vettel even finished the day fourteenth.
Vettel still has to get used to it
The four-time world champion is not happy with the way things are going, but he is keeping his cool.
"Every lap helps to get used to the car and get into a rhythm. I try out a lot of things. At the moment it goes up and down. Sometimes I'm really good, in other corners I'm way off. But that's normal," is his reasoning speaking to Sky Deutschland.
So he says he still has to get quite used to the car. "Braking, steering and how the car generally drives or wants to be driven."
