Ferrari started the season as favourites to challenge the dominance of Mercedes, but as mid-season approaches it is clear that the SF16-H is not a match for the pace setters – and that comes from the the team’s star driver Sebastian Vettel.
Speaking ahead of the Austrian Grand Prix weekend, Vettel said, “If we look at where we were and where we are now, we can say we made a big step forward. We haven’t got the best car, it’s not a secret, but we want to have the best car overall.”
“We are pushing very hard and to be honest nothing has changed, we are not looking too much at what the others do, we are looking after ourselves, trying to improve where we need to improve, looking after our weaknesses, trying to focus on our strengths, then we see where this takes us.”
“Here we expect to be competitive, how competitive is what we see every weekend. Some track characteristics may suit you more than others, so I can’t give you a number, but I’m pretty confident we will all be closer here than we were in Baku and obviously we will try to be even more competitive than we’ve been in Montreal.”
“I think that closing the loop in all fields we made massive progress, I think more than anybody else has, so it’s a reason to be proud of, but surely what we are here for is winning races,” declared Vettel ahead of 166th grand prix start.
