The German veteran Sebastian Vettel is the reigning Formula One champion who is currently associated with the Austrian Racing team Red Bull Racing. He has previously associated with BMW Sauber and Toro Rosso. As a youngster he was widely compared with the legend Michael Schumacher and was known as ‘baby Schumi’. However the current season has not been a very successful for the German as he has suffered with the new built and design of the car.
He has admitted that his driving style is not very well suited to the new design of the car. Although he put up the best performance of the season by taking the second position in the Singapore Grand Prix, he did not seem very satisfied with the result. The chassis of his car has been changed quite a few times this year. He also seemed dissatisfied with the way the car rotates on corner entry. Moreover he has lost some advantage in exploiting the concept of the blown diffuser. Sebastian Vettel was quoted saying that although the problems have been temporarily solved he does not believe that it could bring out the best in him.
Lewis Hamilton seemed very aggressive during the Singapore Grand Prix. He overtook Sebastian Vettel with a sharp and risky turn that surprised his opponent. Vettel felt that he could never beat Hamilton with his worn out tyres compared to the fresh ones that his counterpart was using.
The Red Bull team had previously suffered from an engine failure but they remained positive about their chances in the Grand Prix – not least because they have a new optimism since their team yacht chartering holiday in Largs. They did come close to Mercedes but failed to beat them in a tough battle for glory. Vettel put in the best effort of the season but he managed the second position. He hopes to comeback stronger in 2015 with the new car.
