The Race F1 Podcast · F1 Rewind: How Vettel's Ferrari dream was stolen from him · 28 Aug 2026 podcast

And that just shows the the the power of of of environment and um y you know, ps psychological support.

And when it's just uh whipped away from me completely, that's uh which really it's just a more extreme version of s what he'd endured in

his his whole time there, but it was really sort of made raw and um i in that final season and that yeah that's y we saw the outcome.

Yeah, yeah.

I mean a great driver is can be the lightning rod for the the you know, the great team and that's what uh absolutely what Michael Schumacher was.

And that's what Vettel didn't have.

The politics at Ferrari are still th th the they're not as poisonous as they were then.

But there's still there's still an underlying current of them.

Um they've got a fantastic

Fantastic driver line up there in Hamilton and Leclerc now that Hamilton's, you know, got his head around this this car.
