"Obviously, it's bloody difficult for us, where we are now, to win a normal race. Our target is always the same - we try to do the best possible job, whether it's testing or racing, try to qualify as high up as possible and then do a race with no mistakes and at 100 per cent of our abilities, which will put us in a position [dictated by] the car's pace.
"When something funny happens at the front then you have to be there, like in Monaco and Montreal, but these circumstances don't happen at every race. The majority will be as boring as Magny-Cours was, for instance. But still, we finished twelfth there, ahead of
Williams and
Honda, so we can be very proud of that result."
While Magny-Cours provided a comedown for Vettel, he is more confident for the coming races at Silverstone and Hockenheim, despite not having raced at either in
F1 before.
"I think [Silverstone is] a nice circuit, [although] it's very bumpy and very difficult because you haven't got any reference points as it's very flat," he reflected after last week's group test, "I think, when they put the marker boards up for the race, it might be easier but, at the moment, there is nothing, just an arrow indicating whether it's a left-hand corner or right-hand corner. I like the track so far though, especially the first sector where you have the fast corners.
"Magny-Cours also has a lot of quick corners and we were quite competitive compared to where we had been before, so I am quite confident for
Silverstone. It should suit our car."
