Sebastian Vettel was asked in Austin Thursday what went wrong in 2018.
Vettel was ahead in the driver’s championship at one point, but in the last month, it has all seemingly fallen apart. Entering this weekend’s U.S. Grand Prix, Vettel’s title hopes are dead in the water. Lewis Hamilton has a shot at clinching the title if he leaves Texas 8 points ahead of Vettel.
