SEBASTIAN VETTEL could end up QUITTING Aston Martin after his torrid start to the new Formula One season.
That’s according to ex-driver Timo Glock, who believes his fellow German is already close to ‘losing his patience’.
Sebastian Vettel is running low on patience with Aston Martin, says Timo Glock
Glock reckons Vettel could turn his back on the F1 team if they don’t sort out their car
Vettel, 34, missed the first two races of the campaign after coming down with Covid.
But his return to action at the Australian GP in Melbourne did not go according to plan.
The four-time world champion first crashed in FP3 to dent his qualifying hopes.
Vettel then skidded off the track during the race itself and did not finish.
Aston Martin’s woes also extended to teammate Lance Stroll, who crashed as well Down Under.
And Glock reckons unless the team behind Vettel’s car can sort things out quickly, the former Red Bull and Ferrari man could head for the exit.
Glock, who secured three F1 podiums for the likes of Jordan and Toyota, told Sky Germany: “I can imagine that Vettel will lose his patience at some point because he himself knows how long it takes to get out of such a low.
“Therefore, the question arises whether he still wants to do that to himself.
“Now you have to wait for the next races and see how he can motivate himself and what he then decides for his future.
“What can we say about [the Australian GP?] Vettel’s racing team experienced an absolute worst-case weekend in every respect.
“The only ones to point out are the mechanics, who knelt in to get the cars back on track, which worked.
“But both Vettel and Stroll had a completely uneven weekend with numerous mistakes.”
