Vettel relieved after his pole in Canada

Sebastian Vettel should have been patient before celebrating a pole. The pilot Ferrari had not secured the best position on the grid for 17 Grands Prix, his last victory in qualifying dating back to Hockenheim (Germany) last year. However, the German did not steal this 56th pole of his career by relegating his closest rival, Lewis Hamilton (Mercedes), to two tenths.

“We know that Hamilton is very strong in qualifying. I'm still full of adrenaline when I leave my seat, commented the Ferrari driver just after the end of qualifying. I loved this session, especially since the last few weeks have not been easy for us. The car was much better today. It's been a long time since I last won pole and I really enjoyed riding in this car Today. »

Sebastian Vettel has a golden opportunity to end Mercedes' invincibility since the start of the season.

“I hope the car will be as efficient in the race and that we can do without the soft tyres. The medium tires worked since we were able to qualify for Q3 with this choice. I remain wary because our opponents showed a solid pace in the race”, said the quadruple world champion who won on the Gilles Villeneuve circuit last year.
