Why was Vettel never a candidate for Red Bull in 2021?

#While it is true that the decision to replace #Alex #Albon arrived too late and that the move did not take place until after the season ended, #Sebastian #Vettel #He was not part of the #Red #Bull candidates for several reasons, especially one that we all remember and that he wanted to point out #Helmut #Marko.

#Germany 2018 marked a before and after

#If we remember the magnificent relationship that #Sebastian #Vettel and #Red #Bull #Racing had in the past, including four consecutive titles from 2010 to 2013, everything would make us think that a return of the #German to the #Austrian team would have been more possible, but in the end it has not been like that and the team has opted for another experienced rider.

#In a statement to #Motorsport-Total.com#Helmut #Marko started by acknowledging that the #German rider was no longer on the list when they decided to switch to #Albon: “#No, #Vettel was not an option. #When we decided to replace #Alex #Albon, #Vettel was no longer available in the markup“.

#Despite that fact, the head of #Red #Bull’s young driver program said there was also some other reason that led to #Vettel being dismissed: “I think the uncertainty started when I saw the #Hockenheim accident in 2018. #At that time #Arrivabene was still the team leader. #Since then, the relationship with #Ferrari has deteriorated a lot and it showed in his driving “.

#Since the 2018 #German GP, ​​#Vettel has not been the same according to #Helmut #Marko: “I can’t say to what extent that was a disadvantage for him, but admit he made too many mistakes himself. #After that accident, uncertainty settled in and the handling was very often not at the level of the #Vettel that we know.. #So, I hope he recovers soon “.
