For the third time this season in Singapore, Sebastian Vettel came to break the domination of Mercedes W06 Hybrid Lewis Hamilton and Nico Rosberg, who appeared in difficulty on the Marina Bay Street Circuit. A situation that the four-time world champion does not expect to see repeated in Japan.

“It’s a completely different circuit here. I think you have to stay realistic. In a sense, it was a big surprise to see Mercedes struggling (in Singapore), and I don’t think that will be the case here.. Again, this would be a big surprise. But if the chance is there, we must take it.

I think we have learned throughout the year so hopefully we will be competitive again, but the favorites I think remain Mercedes with their two cars. » commented the former pilot Red Bull at a press conference this Thursday.

The pilot's salute Ferrari could also come from the sky, rain is often present at Suzuka. " The weather could bring a lot of surprises. » concludes the German.
