Sebastian Vettel wants to prove Ferrari is better than its recent disastrous form. "I think we have great potential in this team,” the former 4-time world champion admitted. "Obviously the last weeks have been tough for us overall, and we could be in a better place — we are not, so that happened for a reason. 

"There is not much point going through it for another week or two, but we look forward, and even if the last weeks have been difficult, the spirit inside the team, if you look at the guys and so on, it is incredible how powerful they are, how strong they are, how positive they are throughout. "That made this team always very strong, and will make this team strong in the next race and in the future.

"So, we know that we still have a lot of potential to unleash and we need to work and dig a little bit deeper and so on, but for now obviously, we want to prove the last races are not what we can do."

Kimi Raikkonen agrees: "Obviously we need to go through things and it was difficult weekend overall,” Ferrari’s most recent world champion added. "We improved during the weekend, and it was getting better and better, but if you look purely at the result, it wasn't what we wanted but that is how it goes sometimes.

"We go to the next race and look for good things and hopefully put them where we are more happy and be up there."We need to tidy up things and hopefully get a bit more of a cleaner weekend."

Vettel said Ferrari had discussed its Suzuka qualifying mess immediately after the session and would do so further, but urged against dwelling on it.”
