Red Bull, Vettel is not worried about the blown exhaust ban

The Formula 1 world champion, Sebastian Vettel, does not expect a less competitive Red Bull due to the ban on using blown exhausts starting from Silverstone and ad hoc mapping for qualifying starting from Valencia.

“I'm not particularly worried,” said Vettel. “I think our car is the best in terms of design and it doesn't just depend on one component” explained Vettel. “Anyone who believes that Red Bull will be the most disadvantaged team will be surprised.”

“I'm very curious to see how the situation will evolve with the new rules,” said Renault's Nick Heidfeld.

“It's common opinion at the moment that Red Bull benefits the most,” added the German. “We will see if this will be the case after the changes to the rules.”
