"I'm really surprised. Everyone is surprised. I think that they were surprised themselves, "said Vettelis.

"I do not think we have problems in a straight line. There is really no shortage of speed there. We are losing time in turn. There are sixteen laps on this track. We seem to lose most of the time in slow and medium turns. "
"The balance of the car is still not what I would like.Lack of confidence And here, these things affect the overall result."
"The temperature here can be 10 to 15 degrees higher than in Barcelona. The configuration of the route is also different. During the tests, the car was excellent. But here the situation is different. The shift behind Mercedes m surprised me, we really did not expect it. But that's how it goes, we need to focus on tomorrow.
