Sebastian Vettel Opens Up on Poor Qualifying Session For The British Grand Prix
Follow Us
Sebastian Vettel was already in a spot of trouble when the British Grand Prix weekend rolled in. An intercooler issue halted his progress in FP1, while a recurring brake pedal problem plagued him in FP2 and persisted in Saturday’s FP3 session.
Unfortunately, bad luck wasn’t quite finished with him, not by a long shot. He struggled to find good pace in qualifying and is set to start from 10th on the grid. This is because his final lap time got deleted for running wide at Copse.
In spite of a slew of issues with the SF1000, Sebastian Vettel insists that the team still has his back. In other words, he firmly believes that Ferrari is giving him and Charles Leclerc equal attention and things will get better.
