Tenth in the afternoon, only 16th in the evening. The performance of Sebastian Vettel it got worse and worse on Friday in Jeddah, with Aston Martin appearing to struggle hard on the very fast Saudi track, especially in the spotlight. Also the boxing mate of the four-time world champion, Lance Stroll, in fact, he was not able to do better than 15th place in PL2, ahead of Vettel by just four hundredths, albeit with a harder tire than that of the German.
Speaking at the end of the day to the microphones of Sky Sports F1 however, the former Ferrari driver still found a way to smile, underlining the beautiful layout of the Saudi Arabian circuit. “It was quite interesting – commented Vettel, speaking of his first day on the track – the circuit is very fast and extremely demanding for us. There is no room for errors, but it’s funAnd. In the evening we did not go so well with the car as it had been in the afternoon. We tried a few things, but we got some answers [per domani]“.
Finally Vettel, like other riders, underlined the surprising grip offered by the new asphalt in Jeddah: “I expected the grip to be much worse since the track was completed so late – Aston Martin # 5 concluded – you can see that there is still stuff lying around everywhere. But when it’s dark you can’t see it – he joked – but the track itself has excellent grip “.
