Vettel: “Third and fourth place makes me really happy for the team”

Sebastian Vettel: “All in all we can really be happy. We are only at the third race and the progress made so far is impressive. Having achieved third and fourth place makes me really happy for the team, although of course I would have liked to put even more pressure on the Mercedes. After the first and second pit stops we managed to stay close, but in the final phase they pulled away a lot. Overall we are closer than four weeks ago and that is positive, but there is still a lot to do. What is also very positive, however, is the fact that we were ahead of all the other teams. Second place was out of reach for us today, we have to admit that our opponents were very fast. For Bahrain, we hope to do even better. The feeling is that we have a strong car in all conditions."
