F1 2021 According to Otmar Szafnauer, team manager
THETmar Szafnauer, director of Aston Martin Racing (formerly Racing Point), does not rule out being able to fight with Mercedes and Red Bull throughout 2021, although his first goal is to achieve the third in the Constructors’ World Championship that McLaren deservedly snatched from him. last campaign.
“We had the potential to finish third. I think McLaren was not as unlucky as we were. We should have finished third. So it makes sense for us to finish third, although it would be great if we could fight for Red Bull and Mercedes,” Szafnauer said at the ‘RT’L.
The second car ‘cloned’ of the Mercedes champion, where they will be able to count on the efficient suspensions of the W11 in their new car, the AM01, and the arrival of Sebastian Vettel, are the reasons that make them predict a leap of reluctance. “As always, Seb is very motivated. He is very curious, he asks a lot. Compare the work here with what he has learned in the past. We work differently here and treat the drivers differently from their old teams. We are leaving. to make sure that he enjoys racing again. That was exactly what he wanted. Our team is very good at that. We provide him with the environment and support he needs to have fun while driving, “Szafnauer emphasizes about his new addition.

Of course, Lance Stroll is the owner’s son and the director doesn’t forget about the Canadian. “Lance Stroll has a lot of natural talent and can drive fast. He is not easy for Sebastian either. Lance is very fast, he shows it even in the wet. He has shown it several times this year. What I really appreciate is that our drivers have always worked very well. together. I expect the same from both. First they are teammates and then they compete with each other, “he clarifies from the beginning, making it clear that there will be equality between them in every way.
