Leclerc suffered a damper last weekend, Vettel, however, the much needed sense of achievement. “Every time I get in the car, I try to do the best possible job, sometimes it gets really good, sometimes not so good, if it's not good enough, then I work on myself and try to understand what I do better “, explains the Heppenheimer.

This had previously praised Ferrari team principal Mattia Binotto. After the setback in Monza – internal friction in qualifying, spin in the race – he tried to look ahead and focus on Singapore.

“There were not many corners in which we lost,” rejoices he himself. That finally put him in a position to fight for victory on Sunday. But in the race trim Mercedes was “a little faster”. This shows him that the problems are not completely eliminated. “That's not the case, it's wishful thinking, but that's not the fact.”

“This allowed us to be a little bit freer and manage the limiting axis – in some races it was the front, in others the rear – and we hope the improvements will give us even more freedom in order to elaborate these problem zones in the set-up. “

But it is untrue that he only struggles with the front or the rear this season. “When you adjust the balance, in some corners, the front is weaker, in others the rear, so we have to find more grip on the car overall to play more freely with the tuning.” Only then will you be able to adjust the Ferrari to Vettel's needs and to any specific route.
