Sebastian Vettel finished the Belgian Grand Prix 4th but will be disappointed not to have got on the podium with his teammate Charles Leclerc who won the race.
"For the team I'm happy, but obviously not for myself," Sebastian Vettel tells Sky Sports. "I didn't have the pace ultimately, and I was struggling to stay on top of the tyres, which normally is not a problem at all.
"So it was a tough race, and from quite early on it was clear that I wouldn't be in the fight so all I could from then was serve the team.
"I couldn't hold him off for a very long time. I was struggling in the corner which allowed him to get close, and all I could try to do was give Charles a cushion. In the end, it was just enough so I did the job."
