Red Bull, Vettel: “Last year it seemed more like a rally than F1”

It goes without saying that the favorite in the Stars and Stripes race is her Red Bull, just as it is equally superfluous to say that he is the one expected to be the winner, Sebastian Vettel.

“Last year there was slipping everywhere because the asphalt was still new, particularly in the narrow and sinuous sections towards the end of the track. At times it felt more like rallying than F1! – declared the four-time world champion – The most complex section is the one at the beginning just after the hill. I remember it took me a while to figure out how to position the car.”

“Austin is a great city so I see no reason why our sport can't successfully establish itself here – commented Mark Webber – The track is quite interesting with lots of fast corners and big undulations. The most difficult part is certainly the initial one because it is fast and requires a certain precision in order not to lose momentum."
