Team boss Otmar Szafnauer says that Sebastian Vettel isn’t yet operating at 100% at Aston Martin, but is now getting close.

The German made a disappointing start to life with his new team, failing to score points in the first four races and being second best to team-mate Lance Stroll.

However, things were much better in round five as he finished in P5 to go above the Canadian in the standings and give his team their best result of the year.

What’s more, Szafnauer believes that the German – like others who have joined new teams – while close, isn’t fully settled and still has room to do even better.
