Schumacher sympathizes with Vettel: "So bad you almost feel sorry for him"

For Sebastian Vettel, the Formula One season did not start as he had hoped. The German missed the first two Grands Prix because of a corona virus and ended up in the wall in his comeback race. Ralf Schumacher is watching it all with dismay.

After his crash at the Australian Grand Prix, Vettel had to go to the medical center, but the Aston Martin driver indicated afterwards that he felt fine. "From a certain amount of g, a light comes on," he explained to Sky Sports. As a precaution, a checkup is then routinely performed at the medical center.

Vettel indicated that his lack of experience with the car played a role in his difficult weekend. At the same time, he stressed that the team has a lot of work to do to get more performance out of the car. In any case, he has not lost his sense of humor: "Next weekend can only get better," he grinned.

Ralf Schumacher passes scathing judgments on the "sometimes undriveable" Aston Martin. "It was so bad you almost feel sorry for him," says the Sky analyst. "It's important that Seb gets the pace and the confidence. For him, something like this is not so easy to put away," said Schumacher.
