In the constructors' standings, Aston Martin is in second-to-last place, ahead of Williams.

Goals achievable?

Vettel has made no secret of what Aston Martin's goals must be if he is to stay. "I want to fight for points and wins. If that doesn't work out, then I have to go. I'm going to think about that with my family. I have to find out if I have the energy to achieve these goals with them, and if it is realistic."

Focus at Aston Martin

Asked if a switch to another team is still an option, the 35-year-old driver stressed that this is out of the question at the moment."At the moment my full focus is with Aston Martin. I'm not thinking of joining another team at the moment," Vettel said.
