During the post-race press conference, Sebastian Vettel spoke about the world championship leadership achieved during the last Austrian GP, the ninth round of this 2018 Formula One world championship, underlining how he did not expect such a rapid return to the top.
After the race in France, in fact, Mercedes showed off a very respectable performance, especially in terms of race pace, which is why the German expected a much steeper rise (Seb, remember, showed up in Austria with fourteen points delay from English.ed.). The objective now will be to maintain this leadership, trying to extract the maximum from the SF71H on a complex circuit like Silverstone.
