Vettel sees former Red Bull driver as 'enemy': 'Shadow of himself'

Sebastian Vettel seems to have rediscovered his old form at Aston Martin, but whether he will ever be back in the form of his four world titles remains to be seen. Because David Coulthard doubted this, Vettel hardly speaks with Coulthard anymore.

Vettel was the big man at Red Bull Racing. He took the team by the hand and won no less than 4 world titles between 2010 and 2013. However, his departure to Ferrari didn't bring him many awards, and the last few years at Ferrari also went downhill. The criticism on him has not left Vettel in the cold.

Vettel ready with Coulthard

For example, David Coulthard reveals in an interview with Sky Germany that the German hardly speaks to him anymore. ''Sebastian hardly speaks to me anymore, because I've said that he's just a shadow of himself'', says the Scot. Coulthard himself drove for Red Bull for years, and always had a good relationship with the German.

''I liked the fact that he finished on the podium in Baku and his performance in France was also very good. However, in other races, whether it was for Ferrari or Aston Martin, I don't think he was the Sebastian I knew. However, I understand that he sees it differently. I was also a driver and you see someone who says something bad about you as the enemy. I do understand that,'' Coulthard concluded.
