F1 Gossip: Vettel “doesn’t like pressure” - Berger

Gerhard Berger says Sebastian Vettel struggles when put under pressure in Formula 1 after the🐽 German endured a torrid first race for Aston Mar𓂃tin in Bahrain.
The Austrian worked with Vettel d⛎uring their time together at Toro Rosso and he thinks the German has shown vulnerabilities throughout his career when he has been put under pressur🍌e 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 it i🦄s not possible 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 t♋o 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 wouꦑld 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 ques💎tion him. Step by step there's more and more pressure, and he doesn't like pressure."
: “It’s like watching that Mexican game at the party, the pinata. He is getting beaten to a pulp.“What’s happening to him is awful to watch. I do feel something has got to shift in his psychological c🥃onstellation. He needs to see a mystic and go and have some sort of evil spirit removed from him. He’s done something wrong to deserve this.”

Lꦦando Norris has questioned Red Bull’s decision to force Verstappen to let Hamilton back through in Bahrain, as the Dutchman was already in front and thus it was ‘his corner’.
"Max is already easily in front. He comes♒ 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,''
