“Sorry about that. I had nowhere to go. I couldn’t see how it was going on Turn 1 and we lost the tail. It’s not that great on my part and then we were practically last, ”said the German after crossing the checkered flag. “It’s frustrating because the car was fast, especially when we were in clean air, and that helped me recover to P10.”
However, he was disappointed that he was unable to maximize results. However, Vettel was optimistic about the good recovery, but wanted better results. “It’s great to see both cars in the points today, so there are a lot of positives to take away from the weekend.”
