Scuderia Ferrari German driver Sebastian Vettel got the chance to test last week, driving Ferrari’s 2018 car at Mugello, and the four-time champion is now eager to get back racing.
“I’m looking forward to getting back in the car,” said Vettel in a Ferrari interview – “We’ve been waiting now for quite a long time – and it has started to feel like a long time. Having a tease in Mugello was nice but getting back in the real car for the real thing is definitely what we are looking forward to. Going racing, competing with the others. Austria is a place that I like and a circuit that I like so it’s good to know that we are finally allowed to get back.” – he explained.
Racing at the same track on consecutive weekends will be a first for F1, and Vettel – whose Ferrari team are yet to win in Austria since it returned to the calendar in 2014 – says the back-to-back races will reduce the room for mistakes.
“I have no experience heading back to the same track just a week after and having a second race, but I’ve been around for a while,” said Vettel, who is leaving Ferrari at the end of the season. I guess the level of perfection will be even higher the second weekend, the level of errors will be even smaller. I think there will be a chance to look at the race in particular, review the strategy and we get another chance just seven days after, so that’s a first, and we’ll see how we tackle that challenge.” – Seb concluded.
