Championship leader Sebastian Vettel expresses his delight with Ferrari’s 2018 car saying he felt “healthier and more in control” whilst on the way to win the Bahrain Grand Prix.
Vettel seemed to acknowledge the help he got from a virtual safety car in Melbourne but insisted the Ferrari car deserved the win in Bahrain.
“You try to put so many things together and sometimes you succeed more than other times I think probably the circuit came our way,” the German said.
“I think mostly the fact I had a better feel with the car, we worked on the setup helped us to extract more.
“It was more consistent on one lap but also in the race.
“I felt just healthier and more in control.”
Looking ahead towards China, Vettel couldn’t find any reason why he wouldn’t extend his championship lead.
“It seems a bit more difficult to get into the window,
“But if we do like this weekend, and we find the sweet spot, then I’m pretty confident that we can do well there as well.”
Sebastian has a 17 point lead over title rival Lewis Hamilton.
The Bahrain race gave fans a lot of promise and hopefully more of the same is coming.
