Götz: "Vettel has always been a bit more crybaby than Alonso" | Formula 1

The Mercedes-AMG driver has spoken of Sebastian Vettel, who was his rival in lower categories such as Formula BMW. According to Maximilian Götz, Fernando Alonso is fast with any car while Vettel is not. “Sebastian has always been a bit more crybaby than Alonso. Alonso gets on and is fast. It is a matter of character and a driving style that you have within you as a racing driver. Sebastian has to adapt and that’s not easy, “the German began at Speedweek.” Sebastian is a four-time world champion, he knows what he wants. This is also his last chance, and he knows it. That’s why maybe that’s why he can’t drive so free, the pressure builds up, “added Maximilian Götz about Vettel, 34.” Sebastian has always wanted the team to build a car for him, but in the end, the driver always has to adapt a little to the car. Now he has changed teams, everything is new, and his partner did well last year, he has to beat him. Aston Martin was fourth last year, but now they are struggling with the new rules. Sebastian imagined it differently ”, he continued, alluding to Lance Stroll, who this year is Vettel’s partner. Alonso, better than Vettel at FerrariWhen the Asturian driver set course for McLaren, Ferrari signed Sebastian Vettel as a replacement. The German team was thus betting on a four-time world champion with the hope of winning a championship again, something that finally did not happen. “Ferrari is the most legendary team in Formula 1. It is special to drive for Ferrari. Although I did not win the title, it was a very positive experience for me. I think Sebastian will also have good memories of Ferrari, even if he was not proclaimed world champion with them.I think both of us lacked the right car and the technical skills at the right time, “said Fernando Alonso, justifying the German.” When you sign with Ferrari, you assume that you can win the World Cup. After four titles, Vettel probably thought he could get another with Ferrari. But sometimes you are out of luck at the right time and opportunities slip away. That’s why in my career I tried not to focus only on Formula 1 and, for example, I did the 24 Hours of Le Mans and tried to win everything that can be won, ”added the two-time champion. The comparison between Alonso and Vettel In the five seasons that raced for Ferrari, Fernando Alonso was three times runner-up. The first time he was four points behind Vettel, the second three while the third time the gap between Red Bull and the Italian team was already very large. Sebastian Vettel, meanwhile, has been runner-up in two of the six seasons he has run for Ferrari. In addition, in the last two, he has been outmatched by Leclerc, while Alonso was never outmatched by a teammate. Neither by Felipe Massa nor by Kimi Raikkonen. “Vettel is good, but he is not Alonso”, an anonymous Ferrari employee went on to affirm in 2018. “Alonso has denied himself opportunities for success, but it is no less true that Ferrari He has denied himself two world championships by allowing Alonso to open the door, ”he added. Regarding this season, Fernando Alonso could not finish the first race, but the next two. In Imola he was tenth and in Portimao eighth, so he has been in the points zone twice. Vettel, meanwhile, has not yet scored. He was fifteenth in the first two Grands Prix and thirteenth in the last.
