Sebastian Vettel had a French Grand Prix weekend to forget, eventually finishing fifth with Lewis Hamilton extending his lead at the top of the championship.
“Let’s stop kidding ourselves, Lewis is playing with us,” he said. “I risked everything to do the fastest lap, but Lewis did the same lap time on worn and blistering tyres.”
Vettel is refusing to give up just yet and is determined to make a better show at the Austrian Grand Prix this weekend.
“I think everybody is fired up even more,” he said. “We have to understand why some of the bits that we’ve brought in work and hopefully by next week we have some answers to try something again and maybe the track layout in Austria comes a little bit our way as well.”
