Vettel excited for the start of the season: “I used my time well”

Two races on consecutive weekends at the same location are also new for him. “I think that perfection will be even higher,” said the four-time world champion in a video interview with his team Ferrari. This particularly applies to the second race. There you have the opportunity to learn from the mistakes at the start and to react, especially in the area of strategy. Vettel: “It will be important to take the experience from the first weekend into the second and to improve.” The World Cup season starts three and a half months late due to the coronavirus pandemic. The Austrian Grand Prix on July 5th will be followed by the Styrian Grand Prix on July 12th in Spielberg. “I think Austria is a great track,” said Vettel, who has never won at the Red Bull Ring. “It definitely has everything it needs.” Vettel: “Ghost racing strange” Vettel is starting his final season as a Ferrari driver in Styria. He celebrates his 33rd birthday there on Friday, and his future beyond the end of his contract remains open. With his young teammate Charles Leclerc, he accelerated in a 2018 car in Mugello this week to get back into the rhythm. “First of all, I’m happy that it’s starting again. After such a long forced break, it's good for everyone," emphasized Vettel - even if it will be "weird" and "not the same" without spectators on the track. The eight European races that have so far been fixed in the emergency calendar are all planned as ghost races. A week after the second Spielberg race, the race continues in Hungary. Afterwards, a double event (August 2nd and 9th) is also planned in Silverstone. This is immediately followed by Barcelona (August 16). “So many races in such a short time will be exhausting,” said Vettel. “But I think I’m prepared. I made good use of my time to be fit.”
