It was the first affordable hub in Hockenheim

At the end of the week, Ferrari seemed to have a steady pace, with the duo Friday and the first and third places on the third day.

But with the start of the playoffs and entry into the ring, Vettel immediately reported suffering a loss of engine power and slowly returning to his garage.

Vettel revealed that Ferrari's speed would probably allow him to reach the first start pole, feeling good.

"It's obviously very painful here, I was eager to enjoy it, I think the car was fantastic and it was a shame not to be there," said the German.

"Absolutely yes, but now we're going from the last position, it was great if I was in first place, I think the car had the pace, but it was not my place today."

Of course, it's the worst time, but that's the way it was, and of course we did not want it, and we need to understand why it happened and make sure it does not happen again. more, there is nothing to do at the moment. "

"I feel empty today, honestly, a bitter and disappointing feeling, especially here, especially since the car was really good.I had a good feeling yesterday and it was better this morning, but I did not have a good full ride, so I thought I had a good chance here. "

Ferrari's problems did not stop there, his teammate Charles Leclair had a problem with the fuel system that prevented him from participating in the third section while he was the best candidate for the first pole.

"But now, I have no chance and so I look forward to tomorrow," he said.

"The car was good and we made some adjustments, so it was supposed to be good for us in the afternoon, but it was not estimated," he said.
