Sebastian Vettel: “It was tempting to try, but it was a bad decision”

With wet track conditions from lights out until the checkered flag, several drivers took different gambles in an attempt to secure a big result. Sebastian Vettel is the one who took the most risk since the German tried to put on medium tires when the conditions on the track did not seem to be suitable for it. “As soon as I left the pits I knew it was the wrong decision, Vettel admitted afterwards. There was no grip and I couldn't get them to work...I was really surprised how slowly the track improved and it was similar to last year (in terms of grip. Ed.) because it just didn't dry out. I'm obviously disappointed that I made the wrong choice. It was tempting to try, but it was just a bad decision. » A decision that costs points Aston Martin, because, after a disastrous lap, the four-time world champion found himself in penultimate place even though he was in the top 10.
