Formula One: British Grand Prix- The Day Went Unfortunate For Vettel
He knows his job well and he knows how to get what he wants. However, this weekend he went short of luck. The Red Bull driver Sebastian Vettel, winner of the European Grand Prix had not been able to get a podium position this weekend. Vettel was able to perform brilliantly at the practice sessions but at the final race day of the British Grand Prix, he was unfortunate to have a puncture right at the first lap and for the remaining fifty one laps he only kept catching up with the loss what was already done.
Starting the race from the pole position, he was able to raise the expectations of the fans immensely. Also owing to the fact that he was driving one of the fastest cars of the race every one hoped to see him at the podium but still being at the seventh place was not too bad. He was at least able to bag six points that could for sure make a lot of difference.
As the event ended, Vettel was able to tell his tale of the much anticipated race to the official website of Formula One. He commented on his day’s experience saying that it was not one of the races that he had expected this season, as he is driving one of the best cars and had been in a great form right from the start of the year. He also said that the day started poorly for him owing to the punctured tyre. The team had still not been able to tell exactly what brought the puncture but whatsoever it was, it was very unlucky for the driver. He told that having started from the pole he expected to end at the podium.
He was asked about the speculations that were all around after the race, that it was Lewis Hamilton who touched him in the start causing the puncture, for which he replied that he had not felt anything as such he could not say anything certainly. However, he added that he does not think that Lewis actually wanted to give him that puncture.
Well, commenting on the overall race experience he told that despite the unexpected race results, there were some fun parts to it as well. He had a very tough fight with Adrian Sutil of Force India, for which it is thought that they have one of the fastest car for the straights, therefore he was not able to overtake and unfortunately, they both touched there.
In addition, he was asked about the relationship the team is having, as there had been many rumours depicting colds times between the two, however he only commented that he is not sure for what Webber thinks about him but he is only trying to silently observe the whole situation. He went on to say that, time reveals the inner feelings of people and he is only learning the lessons that time has to teach.
He confessed that as the race started, he was so optimistic and looking forward for podium, so clearly due to the great work, the car had done during the practice sessions that he even joked before the start of the race that it would be a boring race. He added that as he entered the pit stop, he immediately realized that this was not the start he had wanted or thought of. He said that the tyres were immediately changed to hard ones and was finally able to bag some points which he thought was good enough for him.
He concluded that still the season has just reached its middle and there is a lot more to come. He is optimistic and is looking forward for having some great races for the rest of the season and could get to the top of the charts soon enough.
