Belgian GP: Pre-Race Interview With Red Bull's Sebastian Vettel

Question: Sebastian, has today’s tenth place in the second practice session any other reason than treating the engine with care?

Sebastian Vettel: I think today was quite okay as I think that some of the guys in the front were running on a really low fuel load. At the end of the session we also tried to run a little lower to find out what is possible and I think that was no bad idea.

Question: Are you satisfied overall with how it went for you today?

Sebastian Vettel: It was clear that I would make less laps then the others, but still I think it went well for me. We have to see tomorrow as you can never be exactly sure about the fuel loads used by the other teams and where you realistically are.

Question: Did you enjoy driving today?

Sebastian Vettel: It was really great. For us drivers this is one of the best race tracks of the whole season. The fast corners - especially the last two - are really fun. After Hungary and Valencia that are relatively slow tracks, to come here and really let it go, that’s a great feeling. Here you really feel the car and understand what it’s like to drive a Formula One car.

Question: Can you give a comparison of your car to the Brawns - where you have a better car and where you have a weaker one?

Sebastian Vettel: First of all I would say that our car looks much nicer! Other than that, I think this circuit suits the RB5. But today it was tricky to make a final statement of where we are. The gap to the Brawn looks bigger than it is in reality and my prediction for tomorrow is that it will be very close. But again: we are in good shape and should do well in qualifying.
