Vettel: "I have confidence in our car"

Sebastian Vettel feels happy with Ferrari’s preparation ahead of the 2018 Formula One season and admits he can’t wait to get going in Australia.

Vettel also confirms that the car still has plenty of room to improve and it will only be a matter of time before they unlock this potential.

The German said: “We did a good job in terms of mileage, totalling some 4,323 kilometres of running. I had a personal best of 188 laps in one day which is 875km and a total of nearly three thousand!

“We did not experience any major issues with the car and I had fun driving it.

“I think we’re starting from a good base with our SF71H car. Now we’ll have to work on development to further explore and improve its potential.

“I have a lot of confidence in our team, I know how skilled and committed the guys in Maranello are.

With now only 10 days until the start of the season, Vettel hopes to replicate last seasons performance and win back to back races in Melbourne.

“I can’t wait to be in Australia, because once we get on track there, we will all be driving and racing under the same conditions. And, as I said before, I have confidence in our car.”
