Formula 1 witnessed a deferent Sebastian Vettel in 2018, according to a former Ferrari engineer Massimo Rivola.
"I don't know what happened," Rivola told La Gazzetta dello Sport.
"Every athlete needs the perfect balance to be at his best. I don't know the Vettel of 2018 -- my Vettel was different.
"I only hope that (Charles) Leclerc stays as he is," he added, referring to the young star who has been promoted by Ferrari to be Vettel's teammate from 2019.
