Sebastian Vettel takes nothing for granted

In Suzuka, Sebastian Vettel moved into another category. The German driver achieves another grand slam to secure the 24th victory of his career in Formula 1. The double world champion is getting a little closer to his biggest rival for the title and could take control of the championship next week in Korea.

« Of course, it's an important step towards the title, but we are still far from the end of the championship, recalls Vettel. There have been ups and downs for everyone since Spa. Fernando was unlucky again, but nothing was done, quite the contrary. This can happen and you don't want it to. We don't know how the next race will go. In any case, it’s a great achievement to regain so many points today. There are still 5 races left in this crazy season. »

Thanks to the abandonment of Fernando Alonso, Sebastian Vettel performs a great operation, but it took him a while to realize it. “ There were incidents at the start and I saw that one Ferrari gave up. It was only halfway through the race, seeing Felipe's name at the classification tower, that I realized Fernando was no longer there. The car was sensational, from start to finish. The balance was perfect and it was thanks to this that I was able to widen the gap. »
