Vettel very happy with surprise podium place after overtaking at Leclerc

"Yes it was very intense and quite long, but good fun", says a cheerful Vettel after the race. "I had a very good first lap and I found myself already in P4. When we switched to inters, it was a bit in the beginning. Only towards the end did I find the pace again. That last lap was of course very intense. It was a surprise to take that podium, but very happy. It was enjoyable in tricky conditions," he said.

“I saw that Charles was close behind Sergio and I heard he was having problems with his tyres. I could see them fighting and the moment I saw Charles locking up, of course I saw that as an opportunity for myself," said the Ferrari driver.
