Vettel loses faith in the World Cup miracle

“It won’t be that easy for us to do it,” said the Heppenheimer before the US Grand Prix (Sunday, 20.10:XNUMX p.m. CEST/RTL). Even if he wins the four remaining races, “everyone knows that it doesn’t just depend on us.”

After a few mistakes, Vettel and Ferrari hardly have a realistic chance of winning their first world title together. Before the fourth-to-last race of the season, the ex-champ is 67 points behind Hamilton, who can take the racing driver's crown for the fifth time on Sunday. To do this, the Briton has to score eight points more than Vettel.

“We’re making sure we bring everything together and are ahead of it,” said Vettel, mourning the missed opportunities this season. “We had our difficulties,” said Vettel, who had an eight-point lead over Hamilton just seven races ago. But “in the last few weeks” the Scuderia has “lost a bit of speed. I think that was the deciding factor that we couldn't really hold against it. The bottom line is that we weren’t fast enough.”

That's why the past few weeks have been "not good for us". “But we won’t let it get us down,” said Vettel, who called for consequences for the next season from the World Cup battle that was virtually lost: “We missed making a leap forward. It’s important for us to understand why that was the case.”
