Question: Has Nigel Mansell (whose record of 14 poles in one season Vettel could break this weekend) called?

Sebastian Vettel: Not so far, but as the last race was not really a huge success I wasn’t thinking in that direction at all. I think these kinds of numbers are not so much my thing. I’d rather concentrate on racing and the numbers on the time and data sheets.

Question: So what is the plan for the next three days?

Sebastian Vettel: To find a good set-up and have a grid position as close to the front as possible - and then let’s wait and see. We have proved we can have car with the potential to win at every race and that our strategy has what it takes to transform potential into results - so why should it be different here? This track is very special to me and we have seen in the last couple of years that it can hold many uncertainties. It’s a short track that compensates with a lot of action, so I predict a sizzling race - and this weekend I want to be part of it again! (laughs)

Question: Are you somewhat relieved that the season finishes this weekend, or sad?

Sebastian Vettel: A bit of both. Sad, because a fantastic season is coming to an end - a season where I’ve found my rhythm - and relieved because we’ve come a long way. We started at the beginning of February and now we are at the end of November after what was a flat-out ten months’ endeavour around the world, bagging both titles, so now it is time for re-charging the batteries.
