Vettel: 'Mark was better'

Designated by observers as Jenson Button's greatest opponent in the conquest of the world title, Sebastian Vettel spent a discreet race in front of his audience, on the Nürburgring circuit. But, taking advantage of the three-stop strategy of the Brawn GP drivers, the German was able to offer a double to Red Bull by climbing onto the second step of the podium. And, for the sixth time this season, in nine races, his teammate beat him. “ I would like to congratulate him, blurted Vettel at the end of the race. He was faster than all of us, he deserves this victory »

Fourth on the grid, the winner of the British Grand Prix last month admits that he started the race badly. “ I had a bad start. Starting 4th and ending up 8th is really not good. I was then behind slower cars. But when I got closer to the drivers equipped with the Srec, they activated it so that I did not overtake them. » Despite everything, the German driver recognizes that this German Grand Prix is ​​a very good performance for his team. “ I am satisfied with this new double. But I would be lying if I said that I am completely happy because I wanted to win. But Mark was better. »
