After the first day of the last Grand Prix of the 2014 season, Sebastian Vettel is ranked fourth in both practice sessions and finishes eight-tenths behind Lewis Hamilton. Despite lacking the pace to regularly beat the Silver Arrows, the reigning four-time world champion is keen not to influence the outcome of the championship.<\/p>\n
\u00ab I don’t really want to interfere with Mercedes – it would be great to race with them and beat them but I think, realistically, they are a bit too far ahead, \u00bb he says to Crash.net<\/i>.<\/p>\n
\u00ab I think anyone can interfere – I guess that’s what we’re racing for – but if everything goes normally, if we look at the last races, then it will be a Mercedes one-two if they don’t encounter any problems. I just want to get the best out of myself, the car, and make sure I finish fourth in the championship, \u00bb he adds, aiming for a goal within his reach.<\/p>\n
Outpaced by Kevin Magnussen’s McLaren in Free Practice 2, he comments on the progress made by the Woking team: \u00ab I think McLaren has clearly taken a step forward in the last two races, and here, the nature of the track might suit them a little better than the previous tracks. \u00bb<\/p>\n
He concluded on the work done by the Austrian team: \u00ab I think we have improved our car, but we can still improve. But it’s Friday, so we’ll see tomorrow. \u00bb<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
