Ross Brawn: “Vettel mistakes 'no coincidence”

Formula 1 Sporting boss Ross Brawn thinks Sebastian Vettel has driven his own 2018 championship campaign “off the track”. "I don't want to attack Vettel, but these mistakes do not seem to be a coincidence," Brawn, the sporting boss for F1 owner Liberty Media, is quoted by Auto Bild. "They seem to be more of an indication that Vettel is currently a bit off track. It's a shame because Ferrari was able to give him a really competitive car right from the start of the season," he added. However, Brawn - who was the technical boss at Ferrari during the ultra-successful Michael Schumacher era - also thinks the Maranello team has a bigger role to play. "Ferrari should focus on finding a way to fully exploit Sebastian's talent," he said. "You do not become a four-time world champion for no reason, and Sebastian certainly has not forgotten how to win."
