Sebastian Vettel discovers the WRC

While Kimi Räikkönen is the big attraction of this Rally from Finland, Sebastian Vettel made a more discreet appearance in the Jyväskylä service park. Present with a few friends on the rally, the driver Red Bull was delighted to discover the World Rally Championship and behind the scenes of Citroën assistance: “We went to see three special stages this morning, the speeds reached are impressive! During my tour of the audience, I recognized many similarities with the way we are organized in Formula 1. What surprised me, however, was the intensive use of data acquisition. I didn't think it was so important in rallying. »

Like his comrades Kimi Räikkönen and Robert Kubica, the German could see himself behind the wheel of a rally car: “Indeed, I would like to try it to experience these sensations. If an opportunity presents itself, I will gladly take it! » For Olivier Quesnel to play?

For now, Vettel remains totally focused on the current season: “The Hungarian Grand Prix was catastrophic for me. But this season remains great despite everything. Before the start of the season we knew our car was very good, but we didn't expect to perform so well and challenge for the title. Other teams thought they had a good car? and they fell from a height! »

At the idea of ​​facing the icon on the track Michael Schumacher in Valencia, Sebastian Vettel's eyes sparkle. However, he obviously hasn't forgotten Felipe Massa: “It's reassuring to know that he's doing better. We can think that he was unlucky to be in this place at this time, but on the other hand we can also say that he has come a long way. Getting a spring weighing more than a kilo in your helmet at 250 km/h and getting away with it is also luck. »
