Vettel diaries: Monaco, Thursday

In his first diary from Monaco, Sebastian talks safety and what his plans for that precious day off.

“Monaco is a very special track that tests you right to the - just one tiny mistake and you collide with the wall and that’s your race over.

Luckily, safety has improved over the last few years. Of course, there are still some dangerous parts: like when you drive up to the Casino and don't know what's behind the dome - all that is left for you to do is hope no-one has had a problem and stopped right there.

The qualifying and race will be pretty tough. Our cars are great but other teams have shown an equally good performance. Ferrari did great, along with Mercedes and, as always, you should never underestimate McLaren.

Today's practice went absolutely to plan – we were able to complete a lot of laps which means I feel great; totally comfortable.

Tomorrow we have the day off, but I still have plans: I'll sleep in a little longer, work out a bit and then return to the track to analyse the first practice sessions.”
