Vettel does not feel “in control” of his Ferrari

Sebastian Vettel was quite behind during the first tests of the Spanish GP on the Catalunya circuit in Barcelona. The pilot of the Team Ferrari finished behind teammate Kimi Räikkönen in both sessions today, finishing 4th this afternoon, a tenth behind the leading SF70-H and 4 tenths behind the benchmark set by Lewis Hamilton (Mercedes).

“I am not satisfied with the outcome of these tests, admitted Sebastian Vettel in the paddock of the Spanish GP. I struggle to find the right rhythm and I endure the conditions, probably more than my car. I still feel that she has potential. I'm not worried, just unhappy with my day. I didn't always have the impression that I was in charge and that sometimes it was someone else who was at the helm. I hope this feeling goes away tomorrow. »

Developments

If the Spanish GP scores the arrival of important developments able to redistribute the cards in the hierarchy, Sebastian Vettel is not yet worried about seeing the Mercedes finish at the front.

“I don’t know what Mercedes brought back, confessed Sebastian Vettel, but it seems that it will be between them and us. I don't know who made the most changes, but it's the quality and not the quantity that counts. »
