F1 | Ferrari, Vettel: “We need to improve, the car is a bit slippery”

Sebastian Vettel concluded Friday at Silverstone, which opened the weekend of the British Grand Prix, tenth round of the 2017 Formula One World Championship, with the fourth fastest time. The German from Ferrari was preceded by the Mercedes of Valtteri Bottas and Lewis Hamilton and by Kimi Raikkonen's twin SF70-H.

Among the innovations brought to the track at Silverstone by the Cavallino is the new engine: “On Friday you don't go with the maximum performance available – Vettel declared to Sky Sport F1 – It works, but it still has a lot of miles to go and we will try to save it".

During the morning, at the start of the first free practice, the German tested Shield"We had an exit tour planned. He didn't like it – the comment of the four-time world champion – especially regarding the visibility ahead, because it was quite distorted and a little foggy. It wasn't very positive and then from the back of the helmet I received a backlash of air that pushed my head forward".

On the first impressions that emerged today on the track, Vettel said: “We have to improve, it was a day with ups and downs. The car didn't go very well at the beginning, improving towards the end. There are a lot of things to look into to improve the balance. The car is a bit slippery at the moment. From what we've seen, Mercedes is fast, but that's no surprise".
