“We were in a bit of trouble on Friday. Normally I like this track, but it was more complicated, remembers the German. But today I got up on the right foot, the car felt amazing and was going faster and faster.

I wasn't sure I would get pole because I thought I had made a small mistake at the end of my effort but it was enough. Today I felt like I was driving the car naturally, unlike Friday”, He explains.

Sebastian Vettel also felt “the spectators’ passion for Ferrari. The name of Gilles Villeneuve is very important to them, the history of Ferrari on these places is also strong. » The Canadian won in front of his audience exactly 40 years ago on a car stamped with the Prancing Horse.

Finally, when asked about the choice of Red Bull tires (hyper soft), more efficient than the ultra soft Ferraris, the wearer of number 5 did not give up. « Their choice is surprising, but they must certainly have their reasons. I think I took the right option for the race. »
