Sebastian Vettel has signed the 12th time in EL 1 1”7 behind the leader Max Verstappen and Ith 14th fastest time in EL2 922 thousandths behind the Dutchman.

The four-time world champion explains these performances by inconstancy. “At the moment it’s very irregular. Sometimes I feel really good and in other corners I'm far away. That's normal, but hopefully we can be more consistent tomorrow. »

On Saturday, there will be a lot of work left for the German before the race. “We are very busy, we are trying to make the most of the time given, every lap is still helping to get used to the car, we are trying a lot of things. I think there is a lot to do to be able to reach our limits. »

And take precedence over his teammate. Lance stroll finished just behind Vettel in FP1 and far ahead of him in EL2.
