Sebastian Vettel is a 4-time World Champion. We can assume that the German has an immense amount of insight in this circus called F1. Although he has been suffering through two tough seasons at Ferrari, his views still hold a lot of weight.
Keeping this in mind, a journalist from Sky Sports asked Vettel about his views on Stefano Domenicali being rumored to replace Chase Carey. Sebastian Vettel chose his words carefully in this interview to avoid any further controversy.
“I don’t know. I can’t say anything, can I? Well, I don’t know if he should. I think he knows the sport, he’s been involved for long enough. He’s been part of Ferrari for a long time,” said Vettel.

“That’s hard because I don’t have an opinion. But then again, there’s a lot of opinion walking around.” Vettel smartly answered.

“I wouldn’t like to say what I think. How can I see the full picture? I can’t, I don’t know what that job is. Obviously, it is easy to say this could be improved, this could be improved. But then you don’t know what else it takes,” the German added.
Vettel also shared his views on the board, choosing the right person for the job. He stressed that this would be important.
‘I think it is up to the person running the show in the future to decide what is best and obviously; it is the job of the owner to pick that man in charge and hope for things to happen’

Finally, regarding his weekend at Sochi, Vettel opened up comfortably. He expressed a desire to qualify at a better position on the grid to have a better chance of earning a decent finish.
“Well, I would like to get into a better groove with the car. Just be able to extract a bit more on Saturday. I think Sunday is alright but races are mostly compromised by the fact that I’m somewhere in the middle of the pack and then it is very difficult to race well from there.”
