Four-time world champion, Sebastian Vettel, had a disappointing year in 2019 and was beaten by his new Ferrari teammate Charles Leclerc. Vettel is looking forward to the start of the 2020 season this weekend in Australia and believes that it will be a better year.
"Say Melbourne and three things come to mind: sunshine, a buzzing atmosphere and bumps!" Vettel said. "Sunshine, because the weather is usually nice when we race there; the buzzing atmosphere because this city is full of life, making it a pleasure to start the season here, and the bumps because every year we know that the Albert Park track is going to be very bumpy.
"In fact, it's that characteristic which makes this track a real technical challenge and that's probably the reason we drivers like it so much. The first race of the season is always special and I think it will allow us to get a better idea than we had in testing as to what the hierarchy is between the teams."
The first race of the season is always exciting as the teams get to test out their new packages and see how fast they are compared to everyone else out on track. Vettel will hope that his Ferrari is fast and that he can silence the critics this season.
