Former McLaren driver David Coulthard thinks Vettel's struggles show that the presuure of racing at a home grand prix can be too much for drivers. He said: "The last driver to win his home grand prix was Felipe Massa for Ferrari in Sao Paulo in 2008 so perhaps there is a direct link between PR demands and performance."
