Vettel between dream and reality

The engines have been running for almost a month already, when testing began ahead of the new season. But the week of the first Grand Prix always has a special flavor, and then even Sebastian Vettel struggles to contain his excitement ahead of the start of his second season as a Ferrarista, which will begin next weekend in Australia.

The first year went beyond expectations, but there was little or nothing to lose. Now the bar has been raised, and it has been set by Rossa president Sergio Marchionne and team principal Maurizio Arrivabene.

So no kidding, but Seb prefers to keep his feet on the ground. And not delude the fans: “The dream is always the same: to win the title with Ferrari – said the four-time World Champion with Red Bull to the microphones of Sky Sport – I do not sign for any result, I prefer to live the season and all its emotions. We are here to fight. The work is difficult, but we believe in it.”

The SF16-T is very promising, but early data seem to confirm that Mercedes still has something more: “I don’t know how the opponents feel, but I think winning with Ferrari would be a special emotion, different from what I felt in the first four titles I won. And I want to experience it,” concluded Vettel.
