Sebastian Vettel has highlighted the importance of the wing angle at the Azerbaijan Grand Prix. The Baku circuit has some straights and slow corners meaning that the right balance on the wings is vital. Having struggled to perform on race day so far this season, Ferrari will be looking to get the setup 100% accurate as they look to get their season back on track.   

“A big challenge at Baku is to find the right wing level to get good grip for the slow corners but also to be fast enough on the straights where we spend a lot of time at full throttle,” said Vettel to Motorsport.com. “It’s not an easy compromise.”

Vettel will be encouraged by the news that Ferrari have been able to upgrade their package for this weekend and will hope that they can receive enough of a boost in performance to start to challenge the Mercedes.
