Gerhard Berger says𓃲 Sebastian Vettel struggles when put under pressure in Formula 1 after the German endured a torrid first race for Aston Martin in Bahrain.

Theꦓ Austrian worked with Vettel during their time together at Toro Rosso and he thinks the German has shown vulnerabilities throughout his😼 career when he has been put under pressure internally.

"At Ferrari, it was the same thing," . "I just feel he is not free, not relaxed. He maybe wants to prove things, but at this moment ꦍit is not poss♈ible because the car is not good enough, or his own form is not good enough.

"He never ﷽reacts very well under pressure. Remember when Daniel [Ricciardo] came to Red Bull and was very strong, he put pressure onto Sebastian.

"When you have done so many races, there comes a point where you're not in the situation anymore where you'd like to🉐 take all the risks, where you fight like you would fight before you won any⭕ races.

"In some ways, it just hasn't worked out well for him. He starts to do mistakes, people then start to question him. Step by step there's more and more pressure, and he do🐻esn't like pressure."

“What’s happening to him is 𝓡awful to watch. I do feel something has got to shift in his psychological constellation. He needs to see a mystic and go and have some sort of evil spirit removed from h♏im. He’s done something wrong to deserve this.”

Three-time Formula 1 world champion Nelson Piquet thinks Max Verstappen would dominate Lewis Hamilton if the pair were t💝eammates.

Lando Norris has questioned Red Bull’s decision to force Verstappen to let Hamilton back through in Bahra🦄in, as the Dutchman was already in front and thu🎃s it was ‘his corner’.

"Max is already easily in front. He come💫s off track due to oversteer, but he was already in front and had already made the action. He could have taken his foot off the gas to get control, but then he would have lost the lead again,''
