Tenth in qualifying, back in Q3 and ahead of the fastest car on paper than his Aston Martin, such as Red Bull, Ferrari and McLaren. On Saturday of Sebastian Vettel in Losail he was extremely positive, always keeping in mind the limited potential of the vehicle that the German is in his hands. The four-time world champion also beat his box mate Lance Stroll, who was also excluded in Q2, showing that he has found a way to be competitive on the fast Qatari circuit. The good result of this day certainly put the former Ferrari driver in a good mood, who during the interviews seemed to want to remove a few pebbles from his shoes.
When asked about an overtaking against Gasly out of the pit lane, the native of Heppenheim justified himself by emphasizing that there is no rule that prohibits it. “Can’t it be overcome? Why not? You can overtake in and out of the pit lane – Vettel specified, speaking to Sky Sports F1 – maybe he had a problem. It would seem not. But I thought he had it “, he pointed out not without irony. In addition, the standard bearer of Aston Martin also joked about the much talked about ‘gentlemen’s agreements’ which should apply to pilots. Nobody would actually take them seriously. “Just the word ‘gentlemen'”, commented on # 5.
Finally Vettel also had his say on the controversy of the day, which concerns the yellow flag displayed at the end of the session for the accident that occurred in Gasly. “We argue about the rules all year round, sometimes things are one way, sometimes another – commented the Aston Martin driver – I had a tough penalty in Bahrain even though I didn’t see a yellow flag. When a car stops on the track, for me it is a double yellow. I interrupted my tour, I don’t know what happened behind me“.
