Sebastian Vettel left Singapore having finished fifth, after starting from the back of the grid, and vowed to fight hard in the remaining races to end the season on a high.
In the aftermath of a tough weekend for his team at Marina Bay Circuit, the Ferrari driver told media, “I think if we get everything right then we know we have a strong package for sure.”
“There have been a lot of races where we didn’t do that; some was up to us, some was up to stuff that happened, but for sure it didn’t end up so far the way we wanted and we’re not yet where we want to be. But I think we believe in ourselves.”
Ferrari trail Red Bull by 15 points in the battle for second place in the Formula 1 constructors’ championship behind the dominant Mercedes team.
“We are not entirely where we want to be in terms of raw pace. Sometimes it’s a bit better, sometimes it’s worse. Obviously on tracks like [Marina Bay] it’s generally more close so we kind of expected to be competitive and then you always have a chance to win or fight for a very solid podium.”
Although they under-delivered in Singapore, the Maranello outfit have updates in the pipeline which will be rolled out in the next few races.
“Going forward we have confidence, there are some bits coming still. We’re here to fight and that’s what we’re going to do,” insisted Vettel who has not won a race so far this season.
