Vettel takes swipe at Marko after cooling issue comments

Sebastian Vettel has taken a cheeky dig back at Red Bull motorsport advisor Dr Helmut Marko after the Austrian made claims that Ferrari had been struggling with cooling issues.

In Melbourne, Ferrari surprised everyone by being so far off of the leading pace of Mercedes having looked comfortably fastest of anyone during winter testing.

After the race in Australia, Marko indicated that the Italian team had been struggling with cooling issues on the SF90, however Vettel has denied those claims in Bahrain.

"We found some answers, but whether we have them all, we don't know," Vettel said.

"I don't think our situation is too different from the other teams. As for Helmut, after the race in Australia he was asleep on the plane, so I'm not sure when he managed to analyse everything!

We were losing everywhere, including on the straight, but I wouldn't be hasty with the conclusions."
