Vettel announces a fight for the world title

The failure of the silver and reds is already dreaming of fighting for the world title. "The race in Singapore turned F1 upside down," said the Ferrari team.

Barely managed to bring Sebastian Vettel to life his racing tale is already announcing the fight for his fifth world title. “Now we have to work on and attack Mercedes even more. There are still enough races ahead of us to make the impossible possible, ”said the positive Vettel, who did not make a single mistake in 61 laps of the last race and thus won his third victory in the Ferrari team.

Emotions were high, especially when he took a big sip from a triumphant bottle of champagne. “My bottle in the car was empty and I have a feeling I already feel a little champagne inside me,” he commented at a press conference after the race.

Emotions in Lewis Hamilton, of course, could not be more the opposite. The Briton, who has so far completely mastered this year’s season, has experienced an absolutely black racing weekend. “I guess something wasn’t the best with our tires. We failed to bring them to the right setting, ”Hamilton commented after the match. "Overall, one big puzzle is how such a situation could have come about at all."

At Mercedes, those in charge still haven’t found the real reason why they suddenly lost so much on their strengths and power. Nico Rosberg also struggled with his tires and also failed to catch the pace set by Ferrari. “We are facing a big puzzle as to why we were so slow this time. We are all amazed by that, ”was his comment after the match. However, Rosberg still managed to reduce his gap to Hamilton to 41 points.
