Vettel benefits from Ferrari controversy

Not long ago, it was his team Red Bull Racing who was in the spotlight for stories of internal war between teammates. But since last weekend, Sebastian Vettel and Mark Webber have peace. After Ferrari asks Felipe Massa to let it pass Fernando Alonso, that's it Team which created controversy. A situation that suits Sebastian Vettel well, calm to prepare for the Hungarian round of the world championship F1.

“People have something else to write about now, affirms the young German. The week before Hungary will therefore be calm for us, which is not a bad thing. We don't care what happens on other teams. We focus on us. We've already had some problems this season for various reasons, so it's nice not to be in the spotlight this time. »

But to return to victory you will also need an RB6 at the top of its form. Especially since now, in addition to McLaren, the Austrian team will have to be wary of the return to form of the Ferrari F10s.

“I think we have a very good car, and we proved it in Germany, although I think Ferrari has taken a serious step forward and really likes this track, continues the ex-pilot Toro Rosso. We were able to fight with them. And even if it wasn't enough, we were the best of the rest. »

Fourth in the championship, tied on points with his teammate, Sebastian Vettel is 21 points behind the leader Lewis Hamilton. But the German will now also have to watch Fernando Alonso who, thanks to his victory, moves back to 13 points behind the two Red Bull drivers.
