Sebastian Vettel full of confidence

Vice-world champion last year, Sebastian Vettel wants to move up a place this season. To do this it will be necessary to overcome the pilots of the other three constituting the “Big Four” of the F1 2010.

“This year we could be lucky and talk more about competition than politics and business, declares the young pilot Red Bull to the British newspaper The Guardian. There are Ferrari, Mercedes, McLaren, Mercedes and Red Bull. That makes four teams and eight drivers. For the moment it seems difficult to stand out someone from the crowd. »

Apart from a fierce competition between the four leading teams, we risk witnessing internal duels, not hesitating to qualify the Christian Horner tandem as being the most spectacular.

“We will also witness some interesting battles between teammates. There are two British drivers in a British team, it will be difficult for Jenson. Lewis is very fast and has known the team for several years. We saw what happened when Fernando Alonso went to McLaren. Obviously in Germany everyone is interested in the rivalry between Michael and Nico (Schumacher and Rosberg, editor’s note). A lot can happen on these teams. So I think the most formidable combination is Mark and myself. Everyone knows that there is no problem between us. Obviously I want to beat him all the time, and he wants to beat me, but we get along well. »

At the start of 2010, Sebastian Vettel does not suffer from any media pressure, particularly due, according to him, to the return of an “old German”. And this is not to displease him. Be careful, “Baby Schumi” has fangs!
