A step forward for Sebastian Vettel

If on the timesheet, Red Bull is still behind in seventh place, more than 5″ from the best performance of Kevin Magnussen (McLaren-Mercedes), progress is there according to the four-time world champion Sebastian Vettel. “I don't know what the others are doing, but obviously we did more laps today than we did all year, which is a step forward. We learn with every lap, that's why we try to ride as much as possible, even if the quality of the laps is not always the best. But the most important thing for us is that everything works. It's encouraging. It's good to check the car, the reliability, but a lot of things still need to be done. It was also nice to have a first feeling. There are many things still to come. We know the problems, we try to understand each of them and correct them. It's as simple as that. It's difficult to give a forecast for tomorrow. You have to take it step by step. »

Daniel Ricciardo will take the wheel of the Red Bull RB10 tomorrow.
