This weekend is not crucial for Ferrari according to Vettel

Speaking to the Italian branch of motorsport.com, Sebastian Vettel plays down the importance of the upcoming race weekend in Azerbaijan.

Earlier, Vettel stated that the upcoming weekends will be crucial for Ferrari if they want to maintain a foothold in the title battle. However, the four-time world champion seems to have gone back on his words.

“Some people like to see the team as decisive this weekend. In reality, however, there are still many races and I see no decisive point," the German says.

“We want to win and we try this every weekend. We have a competitive package and I think we will soon make it happen. We absolutely know that if we perform the next 18 races as we did in the last three, it will be too late for a change of course. We know this but this does not mean that next weekend is crucial."
