Vettel 'surprised by others' performance'

La Team Ferrari did not appear in great shape during qualifying for the Italian GP, ​​which was contested in the rain. Sebastian Vettel only set the 8th fastest time in Q3 behind his teammate Kimi Räikkönen, falling 2”5 from the pole of his direct rival for the title Lewis Hamilton who will start from pole at Monza.

“I am surprised by the performance of the others. We clearly didn't have the same rhythm, admits Sebastian Vettel. We don't know why yet and I'm sure there are some things we need to figure out. It was an important day. Something went wrong, that’s how it is. »

Sebastian Vettel wants to remain optimistic for the race on a circuit where overtaking is known to be easy and where the weather should be milder than in qualifying.

“We have a good car and we don't have to be afraid, adds Sebastian Vettel. This day was not ours but it should be better tomorrow because the car is fast. We can overtake here. Racing should be fun. »

Sebastian Vettel is only 7 points ahead of Lewis Hamilton before the start of the Italian GP.
