Sebastian Vettel feels he is in a “better place” after💝 Friday practice for the Spanish Grand Prix.

Vettel struggled considerably a🔯cross both races at Silverstone, picking up a single point across the two weekends.

Ahead of this weekend, Ferrari confirmed it would be giving Vettel a new chassiဣs after it found a crack in it - potentially allowing Vettel to find more performance.

The German fared𓂃 well in FP1, ending the session in fifth - less than a tenth behind Ferrari team-mate Charles Leclerc.

S🦩econd practice wasn’t as strong for Vettel as he ended the day down in 12th but despite this, the four-time world champion was more encouraged going into the rest of the weekend.

“Yeah, bit of a mixed day. I think it was generally a bit better in terms of one-lap pace today. in the afternoon I was stꦯruggling a little bit more to put the laps together but yea♈h we should be in a better place let’s see what we get tomorrow. We’ve tried a couple of things and I think as I said we know a little bit more for tomorrow.

“Yeah providing I put the laps together. In the afternoon I struggled a little bit to do that. It should be ok then, managing the race will be a key point to address with theও temperatures we have, it will be difficult but the same for e𝕴veryone.”

Leclerc felt Ferrari’s pace at the Circuit de Barcelona-Catalunya was better than expected andജ he was confident going into rest of the weekend of securing a big haul of points.

“Yes quite a good day, better than we expected, again, so it’s better to ha﷽ve good sཧurprises compared to bad! The quali pace was quite good, I think there’s still a bit here and there where we need to work and find some pace, especially in FP2 the wind changed a little bit but for now it’s quite positive.

“It feels quite good this weekend, so I’m pretty sure that we🐓 can extract the maximum out of the car in quali and if we manage to have the balance where I want it to then I think we can do quite a good result.”
