The German won’t feel grumpy anymore after Monaco GP
With Vettel finally finding his feet at the Monaco GP in the British racing green car after a horrid season with Ferrari and a poor start to his season, the German finally seems happier with himself.
Speaking to Channel 4 alongside Mark Webber, as quoted by PlanetF1, Vettel said, “Sometimes the criticism is justified and sometimes it’s not. Obviously, I have a very different view on some things because I get to see the full picture from my performance and rest assured, and Mark [Webber] knows this.

“I’ve not had a great time but I think there has been a trend where it’s got a little bit better and I just have to work on that,” Vettel concluded.
The 33-year-old German would like to further improve on this form and score some more points for his team in first season. He would hope for a similar result in the upcoming race at Baku.
