The German has never driven on the track. But on the morning of free practice, Vettel went on a traditional track walk. He stated, “I was also at Maranello and drove the track on our simulator and I have to say I found it very interesting.

“Now I’m curious to get on track and try it for myself and see what it’s like to drive with its blind corners, adverse camber and heavy braking points. I believe everyone is doing everything possible to allow me to give it my best, even if the car is undoubtedly difficult to drive.
