Sebastian Vettel predicts that Charles Leclerc will have a greater future in Formula 1 than Max Verstappen. That is what the Ferrari driver says after his podium place at Istanbul Park. Vettel also gets a question at the press conference that he is not so keen on.
"I think Charles is the biggest star in the future, even more than Max. In ten years' time it won't make any difference that he hasn't made it to this podium," said Vettel in conversation with Sky Italia. The four-time world champion trumped his young teammate in the final phase of the Turkish Grand Prix.

In the press conference, Vettel is asked whether, despite this difficult season, he is still able to show his qualities as the driver who has won four world titles in the past. "Well I’m a bit shocked by the way you phrased your question there. I don’t think… well, F1 is a very fast living world," he says.
"We drive the fastest cars to you always get judged by your last race. I’ve said that we had a difficult season, there’s been moments where certainly I haven’t been at the top of my game but I don’t doubt that I can do a good job in the car and don’t feel that anything has changed, so bit surprised. But thank you," concludes Vettel.
