Vettel: “Happy but not completely”

A Friday like we haven't seen for a long time, the one of which the Ferrari on track a Sochi, with Sebastian Vettel, and Raikkonen in the morning, protagonist of the best time at the end of the day. The Rossa driver appeared visibly satisfied but still appears cautious towards his rivals Mercedes, always ready to reserve surprises and favorites on the Russian track.

“I think we can be happy but not completely,” he said Hag hot. “We had a false start this morning because the first set of supersofts didn't go very well for me and I had to recover the pace later on, but towards the end I found the car how I wanted it and the pace wasn't bad. However, we certainly believe we can improve further and let's see where we will find this something extra."

“I think this is a track where you have to feel confident: there are several corners that look the same on paper and also give similar sensations in the car, but it's complicated to get everything right. I discovered it this morning but I've also seen others make mistakes when braking... it would be nice if they had planted a few more trees next to the track, to have some further reference points; instead it all seems the same so it's difficult to find the rhythm. I struggled a bit at the beginning but then it went better."

“In terms of set-up we didn't change much between morning and afternoon because I had to catch up. Only in the end was I able to find what I wanted and now we understand what we need. On paper it looks like a runway Mercedes; I'm sure that today they didn't show all their cards so the gap you see is artificial", concluded the German from the Red Team.
