Coulthard: Towards the end of Vettel's career, he didn't show any speed

      In an interview with Sky Sports last year, 37-year-old Sebastian Vettel, when asked about his future plans, said: "I parted ways with Formula 1 and didn't return to the championship, but I also said that it's not a good idea to speculate about the future. In general, I think I still have that possibility. You never know where fate will take you. David Coulthard, also a former Red Bull Racing driver, taking part in blogger Lucas Stewart's video podcast, was highly skeptical of the four-time world champion's chances of a comeback. "If he believes that after missing two years he's going to come back and be faster, it just means he's living in an illusory world," Coulthard said. - In reality, the stopwatch doesn't lie, and towards the end of his career, Sebastian didn't show the speed he used to. The facts do show that Vettel didn't show much in the last two years of his career as an Aston Martin driver, which did some damage to his reputation as a 53 Grand Prix winner. In 2019 and 2020, when his teammate at Ferrari was Charles Leclair, he too lost out to the young Monaco driver, and eventually his place in the Scuderia was taken by Carlos Sainz. It is worth adding that David Coulthard and Sebastian Vettel will have to compete in the upcoming Race of Champions, which will be held in Sydney on March 8-9.
