Hakkinen: "Vettel needs to restore his reputation with a win soon"

Four-time world champion Sebastian Vettel has failed to stand on the top step of the podium for over 12 months, while his teammate Charles Leclerc has won the last two F1 races. Mikka Hakkinen says the German needs to win and win soon. "To win for Ferrari, in Monza, is a day that young man will never forget. An important win for him, for the team, and for teammate Sebastian Vettel. Taking the success from one race to the next is precisely how you eventually win a World Championship.  “Ferrari team boss Mattia Binotto now has a situation where his number 1 driver Sebastian is being beaten by the young number 2 driver, and that could potentially cause tension," Hakkinen said (via GP blog).
