Bernie Ecclestone wants Sebastian Vettel to million per cent focus on F1

Bernie Ecclestone on the other hand is unclear regarding Vettel’s involvement and blames it for his Aston Martin’s performances.

Ecclestone stated: “He’s not that focused. Before, when he was winning races, he didn’t know what was going on in the world and didn’t care. Now he cares and he thinks about the future of the world. I think he’s right, but I don’t think he should use his position for that reason.”
