Ferrari star Sebastian Vettel is determined to "put right" the fact that he's never won for the Scuderia in Barcelona, as both the German and his team still look for their first win of the season.
The last win for Ferrari in Spain came back in 2013, when now-retired Fernando Alonso won the second home race of his career (excluding the European Grand Prix in Valencia in 2012).
There are scores to be settled at the Circuit de Catalunya, with Vettel and Ferrari not claiming a single victory this season yet.
Looking ahead to this weekend, Vettel is very positive, as he thinks previous results with Ferrari have been better than it seems.
“I know the Barcelona-Catalunya circuit perfectly and the uphill turn 3 and turn 9 are definitely the most fun. I think the way the final sector is now means it’s not as interesting as it used to be, but it is probably even more crucial when it comes to setting a time.
"In fact, you have to be careful not to make any mistakes, because it’s all too easy to ruin the tyres in this sector and lose precious tenths. I’ve always had very positive weekends in Barcelona with Ferrari, even if we’ve never won. I hope this might be the moment to put that right.”
