F1 | Ferrari, Vettel: “Mercedes is good at minimizing its superiority”

In the last championship matches the Ferrari it seemed a distant relative of the single-seater admired at Spa, where it achieved what to date is the last championship success achieved by Sebastian Vettel.

La Mercedes in fact, thanks to the three consecutive victories achieved by Lewis Hamilton in Monza, Singapore and Sochi, he increased his advantage over the Red team in the constructors' championship to 53 points while the Englishman can boast an important +50 over the German rival of the Cavallino in the Drivers' World Championship.

Vettel himself, speaking of the (overwhelming) competitiveness shown by the Star in the last month and a half, said: “They were very good about saying they had an inferior car. I think they have a very strong car. We also know we can count on a strong car".

"It's not nice to have a gap like that – said Vettel referring to the gaps that emerged in qualifying for the Russian GP between Mercedes and Ferrari -. There were qualifying sessions in which we were ahead and in others they had the upper hand. We just need to continue developing the car".
