Vettel does not understand Ferrari tactics | Motorsport

sport">The German was again not involved in the 70th Anniversary Grand Prix at the Silverstone circuit on Sunday. Where his teammate Charles Leclerc crossed the finish line fourth, the four-time world champion had to settle for twelfth place.

sport">Already during the race, Vettel, who will be replaced by Carlos Sainz next season, criticized the tactics of his employer over the on-board radio. After he got out of his car, he did it all over again.

sport">“We talked this morning about the fact that it makes no sense to go to the pit lane when we know that we will then end up in traffic. Yet that is exactly what we did today ”, said Vettel, the number 13 (!) In the World Cup standings, opposite Sky Sports.

sport">“We then also switched to the hard tire, on which we only drove about ten laps. That made no sense. Why do I do ten laps on the hard tire and 20 on the medium, which wears out much faster. Now at the end of the race I ended up with a worn out tire. I think that could have been better. ”

sport">That the speed of his car was comparable to last week, when Vettel crossed the line in tenth, was also a point of frustration for the 33-year-old Heppenheimer.

sport">“To be honest, my pace was comparable to last week. So there was no improvement in that area either. I can’t help it. I just have to keep calm and keep working hard. It was two bad weeks. ”

sport">There does not seem to be any real belief in a turnaround. “I don’t know what’s going on. It’s a bit strange. Pretty frustrating too. ”
