SEBASTIAN VETTEL: The FERRARI SF1000 generates too much air resistance

Sebastian Vettel explains the weaknesses of his car this season and points out that not only has the engine gotten worse, but the car also generates too much air resistance.

This season is for Sebastian Vettl a great nightmare. The German was placed in front of the gates before the start of the championship and this year, just like the team Ferrari, did not actually find his way to his form. “As a team, we missed our goals and we failed to reach speed, which makes us disappointed," so Hag for the weekly Time and patience.

Otherwise it is GP of Turkey with the first podiums this year for Vettel and fourth place Leclerc held conciliatory, yet they are from their own demands, overcome Mercedes, very far away. “Of course, it's not like Mercedes dominates the races because they're lucky”Says the German. Ferrari is struggling with even greater problems. Also Red Bull is far ahead of them, at the same time fighting against Racing Point, McLarn in Renault for third place, after last there was even a fear that they would even be against the team Alpha Tauri pulled a shorter end. Hag is aware that Ferrari it is not competitive this year. The engine was quickly found to be the culprit, which had to be changed due to technical guidelines.

Sebastian Vettel explained the disadvantages of this year's SF1000 race car and pointed out that the fault lies not only in the engine but also in the aerodynamics, as its working tools generate too much air resistance.

However, this is not the only problem, he says Hag. "As for the design, we’ve only taken a small step forward.“But the rivals have made more significant progress. “Last year we had a race car that was relatively efficient. It generated a lot of vacuum, but not as much air resistance. This year we have more vacuum, but significantly more air resistance,”Added the German. Besides, it's here weaker engine, which cannot make up for this shortcoming. In the meantime Ferrari located in a slight ascent. They will show what can be achieved with this last three races seasons, which are also the last three for Vettel at Ferrari.
