Vettel: 'Rosberg is the main goal'

Sebastian Vettel could well interfere between the two pilots Mercedes. The resident of the Team Ferrari is back 21 points behind Nico Rosberg following the latter's retirement at the Italian GP in Monza and hopes to be able to overtake his compatriot in the Championship. “It is certain that Nico is closer than us than Lewis is (Hamilton) and he is our main goal, but we must do everything to aim for the best while we have our chances”, commented Sebastian Vettel in the Singapore GP paddock.

The four-time world champion knows well that the task promises to be difficult, his delay on the Championship leader being 74 points with seven Grands Prix remaining at the end of the season. “Lewis is in a very good position because he has a very successful package.”, recognized Sebastian Vettel. “I had years where I had a very strong team, but you have to give your best to get the results every weekend. I'm sure he works hard when he's on the track. »

Sebastian Vettel also deplored the situation between Red Bull et Renault. “It’s sad to hear that because they’ve been partners for a long time. We had wonderful years together which were unfortunately very quickly forgotten. Renault has done a superb job in powering Red Bull Racing and giving them a high-performance engine... I really hope they stay in the sport." said the former driver of the Austrian team.
