Vettel contradicts Mercedes and Red Bull: 'Nobody knows that'

Mercedes and Red Bull Racing expressed their expectations for the new season in recent days. Sebastian Vettel, however, does not find these credible, as it is still difficult to say where the teams stand. He let it be known to the German RTL.

During the test days in Barcelona and Bahrain, all teams worked hard to prepare for the new season. It was not only a moment for the racing teams to try things out, but also for Formula 1 followers it was informative. It provided a lot of information about the strengths of the cars.

A number of drivers attempted to name the contenders for victory in Bahrain, but according to Vettel that is virtually impossible. Indeed, some teams did not show everything yet, he states. "Nobody really knows where they stand at the moment," said Vettel.

Vettel does not expect wins for Aston Martin

For Aston Martin, the main thing in the coming months will be to improve parts in order to work towards the subtop of the standings. Vettel states that, for the time being, it does not seem logical that he can be found at the front of the driver field. "At the moment I don't think we will be fighting for victories," he says.
