Vettel: "I will try my best to make up as many places as possible"

It was a nightmare Saturday for Sebastian Vettel as he qualified in last for his home German Grand Prix but the Ferrari driver has vowed to fight back during the race.

Vettel suffered a Q1 exit at the Hockenheimring as he failed to set a time because of a intercooler problem whilst his teammate Charles Leclerc suffered a similar fate, qualifying tenth because of his own technical problems. This is the latest turn in a series of bad luck for Vettel who crashed into the back of Max Verstappen at Silverstone and finished 16th.

Despite the major setback, Vettel insisted he'll do his best to fight back at his home race.

“Of course it is bitterly disappointing, especially that this should happen here at my home race, in front of such a large crowd of fans. It could not have happened at a worse time," Vettel said as quoted by Grand Prix 247.
