Following the world champion’s season lurched in the GP, sebastian Vettel was endorsed to turn around his form from the top boss of Ferrari.
Vettel’s early spin out of fourth place – and consequent pit-lane penalty for what was deemed by stewards for a’dangerous’ clash on his own return to the track using Lance Stroll – came on the day team-mate Charles Leclerc ended Ferrari’s nine-year wait patiently for a house Monza success with a stirring win before the Tifosi.
Vettel’s latest mistakes add to a collection of errors in race conditions within the last two seasons – but Ferrari’s chief executive, Louis Camilleri, considers people are unwise to write one of the F1 ‘s motorists off.
Talking to Sky Sports F1 as Ferrari celebrated Monza success, Camilleri admitted”we’re likely to have to raise his spirits” but insisted:”I do not enjoy the fact that folks are trying to write off Seb.
“He’s an amazing driver and I have every confidence that Seb’s likely to return.”
Camilleri’s opinion was shared with Mercedes’ Toto Wolff, that does not overlook that Vettel will go back to his very best form.
“Do not write him off, since he is a four-time world champion,” explained Wolff to reporters.
“The gap between the wonderful ones and the great ones will be that the wonderful ones can get up again and I have no doubt he can do this.
“He had a spell of bad races and it will be all about the ability to get himself back to where he would like to be. Now, for sure is a bad day for him.”
However, is Leclerc Ferrari’s number one?
After a disappointing run before the summertime, the intra-team struggle for supremacy between the young and recognized driver of the team has become one of the main stories of F1 2019 Though Ferrari are not in the world championship battle, despite Leclerc’s back-to-back wins.
Ferrari started this season by saying they’d give precedence in 50-50 calls but Leclerc has now outperformed the 32-year-old in months.
Leclerc claimed their first two wins of 2019 and has qualified ahead in the last seven races. Leclerc also moved forward of Vettel by 13 points at the Drivers’ Championship.
“Mattia has stated they’re equal,” explained Camilleri.
“We began the season like that [using Vettel as settlement ], things evolve over time.”
But can Vettel, whose Ferrari contract runs into the end of 2020, reassert himself?
Sky F1’s Nico Rosberg considers his countryman and former rival finds himself in a tricky position – but says Vettel can work his way out of it.
“This second must be quite so dim because of him. His team-mate simply became a complete Ferrari legend and has taken the number one standing in the team, likely, from him,” said Rosberg.
“Vettel is just one of those men with a lot of self-confidence, so that is going to help him a lot through this. And in F1, it it only takes one race one race that is really strong, and you’re back.
“We shouldn’t write off him since he can return very fast – but it’s not a simple one.”
