Conference Call for Mr Vettel

04 | 09 | 08

Seb Vettel was in this afternoon’s official FIA Press Conference today at Spa. Here are the highlights.
Will the next two races at Spa and Monza suit the Scuderia Toro Rosso car?

SV: I think so. Monza is a bit extreme, but I think both kind of circuit, the lay out and the characteristics should suit our car. Here we have a lot of fast corners and I think that should be very good for us and Monza obviously there is a lot of straight lines but I think we have an efficient car so I think we should be in a strong position there as well. But all in all you have to say we have to keep our feet on the ground. In Valencia, as I say,  we had the perfect weekend and we even able to follow a bit the pace of the guys in front and that was very surprising. Obviously you cannot expect that to happen every race. We have to focus and we have to try to maximise our own potential every time possible. If we can get some points or get close to the top 10 positions it is very good for us.

And his last race here at Spa?
SV: It was quite short. At first I had a technical problem then a problem with the steering rack. I was going up to Eau Rouge and the car didn’t steer like I wanted it to. It was quite a bit funny. We retired so it was not the best race for me.

On the challenge of the famous Eau Rouge corner?
SV: I still think it’s a very nice corner and everybody would miss it if it wasn’t part of the calendar but it’s not that challenging, at least in dry conditions. I crashed here in wet conditions and it’s more challenging definitely.

What would he do if wasn’t a pro racer?
SV: If I wouldn’t have made it I think I would look for the best possible education to get in the highest position to tell the drivers that made it in motorsport how they should do it the right way.
