Sebastian Vettel: 'The feeling is good'

Sebastian Vettel, after the first two days of testing in Jerez last week, was able to continue the development of the RedBull-Renault this week. “ Generally speaking, the feeling with the car is good », he comments. Unfortunately, the skies of Jerez were not kind and the vice-world champion regrets it.

« The weather has been pretty bad over the last two days, meaning we haven't been able to fully complete our planned testing schedule, even though it's been the same for everyone. » Thus, the tests concerning aerodynamics and the work of the adjustments provided for by Red Bull had to be adapted to the track conditions.

While most of the teams present in 2010 began their tests in Valencia, on February 1, under the sun, Red Bull only showed up in Jerez, from February 10. Therefore, the weather conditions are important. “ It?s a shame because this is one of our three pre-season testing sessions and last week the weather was already bad, continues Vettel. It seems that Spain is not very happy to see us here! »

Despite everything, the German driver is satisfied with the work already accomplished and the behavior of the RB6. “ We managed to accomplish a lot of work, and the car proved reliable. We didn't encounter any problems. »

Handing over the wheel to Mark Webber for the remaining two days this week, Sebastian Vettel will return to the tracks in Barcelona. “ I hope we will have better weather there, and also that the conditions will improve for the last two days of testing this week with Mark. »
