Sebastian Vettel believes that Mercedes are "very close to perfection"

Sebastian Vettel believes that Mercedes are a team that are close to perfection. The German team picked up their sixth successive constructor's championship at the Japanese Grand Prix last weekend. The Ferrari driver has improved throughout the season but Mercedes have been on a different level.

"Obviously you can't see what they are doing from the outside, but I think they are very close to perfection every time they go out on track. Very consistent, very little mistakes," said Vettel to La Gazzetta dello Sport.

Ferrari have progressed throughout the season but Mercedes were so dominant at the start of the year and this is where the championship was won. Vettel believes that his team are not far off the pace.

Ferrari will hope that they can start the 2020 season the way they are finishing this one and try and end the Mercedes era of dominance.
