Vettel, the perfect weekend

If a pole position is the best way to glean a victory in Formula 1, this is not a guarantee. Sebastian Vettel learned it the hard way at the Turkish Grand Prix two weeks ago. But this time, he went it alone, letting go of his rivals in the first laps. “ To benefit from my position, I had to escape as quickly as possible, confirms Vettel. Luckily for me, the car was able to respond to my attacks. It reacted very well and my tires held the pace in the first stint. This is where I did the hardest part »

Author of his second victory in eight races, the German driver recognizes that the car which was entrusted to him made his task easier: “ This success is a great reward and shows that we are on the right track. Everyone worked really hard. We recovered aerodynamic elements at the last minute to improve performance. » The result is there, since both Red Bull dominated the entire field throughout the weekend.

Sebastian Vettel even had a thought for the English public, who came in large numbers and, perhaps, for the last time at Silverstone. “ I have to thank the public, who supported me all the time. They were standing during the last two laps, cheering and applauding me, even after the race was over. There is an atmosphere here that is unique in the world. » The end of Sebastian Vettel's race must have motivated him to relive these kinds of emotions again. Formula 1 fans will be delighted.
