Sebastian Vettel

Mercedes was stronger at the end of the season.

And they beat us.

2019 was a strange year because our car was okay.

Our engine was really, really good.

You remember which year I'm talking about.

So we struggled to just make progress as a team, real progress.

Like, okay, we are closing the gap or we are actually getting stronger in developing the car, especially the second part of the season.

And I really, really wanted to win the championship with Ferrari.

Trust me, that was... Now I'm cool.

But I really wanted it so bad, and it didn't happen.

And 2019 was sort of the break year, I would say, for myself.

Because for myself, I started to feel like we're not making it.

We're not good enough.

At the same time Charles comes in, I think it was 2019, Charles had so much energy, completely different time in his career, you know, when we finished fifth and sixth or third and fourth.

In fairness, I was spoiled.

I mean, I won four championships.

I won so many races.

I had so many polls, whatever.

All I was interested in was winning.

And as the sort of athlete I was, I wanted to win.
