The team driver discussed his qualifying round in Silverstone and added that the track was quite tough, as it has high-speed corners.
Vettel said, “It was not an easy session with the conditions changing. It was easy to go wide and go into travel like Fernando, so all in all it was very tight. There's not much between the cars and if you get a chance to try again you could find a sniff
here or there. It was a good step today.”
The current world champion had a very close fight with his teammate Mark Webber and Ferrari driver Fernando Alonso in the closing minutes of the Q3. However, Webber finally beat Vettel and secured a pole place for Sunday’s race.

The 24-year-old driver went on to add, “We kept our heads cool. We thought there might be a lot of talk, so we are happy when we jump into car, because we are allowed to focus on what is important. Tomorrow a is long race, the tyres will be very important.”
