Sebastian Vettel was happy with Red Bull’s progress at Interlagos today, but said that there was more to come – and cautioned that everything could change anyway if the expected rain arrives.
Vettel was fourth in FP1 today and moved up to second in the afternoon session.
“It was so-so,” said the German. “I think this morning I wasn’t too happy, but this afternoon I was happier. We were able to improve the cars, but definitely we need to make another step. It seemed to be very hot today, the circuit. It was very slippery. Arguably that’s not going to be the case tomorrow and Sunday, as there’s some rain on the way or rain forecast. It changes here pretty quickly. We’ll see tomorrow.
“The long run was pretty good, I was pretty happy with that. They didn’t fall apart. I haven’t checked what the others did, but ours seem OK.”
Vettel won the final race of the year in 2009 and 2010, and would be happy to lodge a third success.
“I think that’s why we’re all here. It would be great. Obviously it’s nice to finish with a good race, and ideally we’d like to win. It’s a long weekend, here is a crazy place, a lot of things happen, usually on Sunday. As I said possibly some rain, so we’ll see.”
