The four-time Formula world champion reflected on his performance at the Eifel Grand Prix and he revealed the main reason behind yet another embarrassing spin during the race.
“Yeah, it was probably a little bit slippery, but crossing behind the car in front, I lost control," Vettel said.
"Yeah, I was lucky to carry on, but obviously, the race could’ve been different without that. [We were] inside [top 10] for the whole race, but we didn’t get it.
"Vettel was quite clear, “In the end, I struggled to overtake. It was really difficult once I was close to gain speed on the other cars down the straights. So yeah it was a difficult one for us today.”
Mercedes are still placed at the top of Constructors' standings followed by second-placed Red Bull and third-placed Racing Point.
