The German Sebastian Vettel (Ferrari), who for the second day in a row was the fastest in the first series of preseason tests held at the Circuit de Barcelona-Catalunya for the second day in a row, declared that his new car “sounds a bit more like a Formula One ».
“So far, the most important thing is that the car is reacting and doing what I ask of it. Now of course it is crucial that (Finn) Kimi (Raikkonen, his partner) have a similar impression, ”said Vettel, world champion in 2010, 2011, 2012 and 2013.
“About the engine, I can say that I like to have a little more sound from the rear, although it is still not as loud as it could or should be, but it is much better than it was. Now the car sounds a bit more like a Formula One, “he added.
On the work done in the first two days, Vettel said: “We have worked on many things. It is a new car, which means that a lot of things are in a different place. We have tried to understand how the car reacts. Obviously we had an idea and certain expectations, but when the car takes to the track it is always a little different because you handle aspects such as temperature, cooling … »
“In general we are happy, but we know that we now need to accumulate a lot of mileage, so there is a lot of work ahead of us,” said the German. EFE
