Sebastian Vettel: “I don’t think it will be a problem…”

Sebastian Vettel was unperturbed after missing the Friday afternoon practice session in Turkey following his heavy crash in the morning.

Vettel damaged all four corners of the RB7 when he spun off after running just four laps in the rain. The Red Bull crew was unable to repair the car in time for him to get out in what turned out to be the dry second session.

“Unfortunately we couldn’t get the car ready in time, I’m sorry for the guys,” said Vettel. “It makes it a bit more difficult no doubt, but I don’t think it will be a big problem. We know the track quite well from the last years. In the end it was only one afternoon we had in the dry. Tomorrow I think it will be dry.

“We’ll see. I‘m still confident for tomorrow. Everything is open. It looks fairly close, this afternoon I had a bit more time to watch the times than usually. I think it will be quite exciting tomorrow.”

Vettel spent some time in the garage while the crew worked on his car rather than hiding in the motorhome.

“It was only fair. Obviously I apologised, because it was not my intention to damage the car. But this is racing, this can happen. The most important thing is that we are still here. Of course this means a lot of work for the mechanics now, but it’s only fair to show them that I am with them, because if I’m struggling or I have a problem they are with me as well.”
