Vettel diaries: Wednesday, GP of Europe preview

The track in Valencia is pretty similar to the one in Montreal, with a lot of straights and full speed sections. The difference in Valencia will be that we will use the F-duct on Friday during practice in order to improve top speed on the straights. The fact that we were close to our competitors in Canada, without the F-duct, gives us hope. The gap to the top isn’t that big and I hope we can make a step forward in the Constructors’ as well as in the Drivers' Championship this weekend.

Looking to other Championships, I hope that Germany will win against Ghana tonight and then get to the final ...

F1 drivers get into World Cup spirit

Mark Webber has high hopes for Australia and Michael Schumacher believes in Germany’s World Cup chances, two sentiments Rubens Barrichello finds amusing.

“I feel sorry for you guys,” said Barrichello, a Brazilian native whose country is the favorite for a sixth title next month.

Although F1’s busy schedule won’t let drivers make the long trip to South Africa, some were talking up their country’s chances at the Turkish Grand Prix on Thursday.

Webber had fingers crossed that Australia gets a chance to play England, which Jenson Button believes is set to become champion for the first time since 1966.

Fernando Alonso warned Barrichello about Spain, the European champion, saying “Don’t trust him too much. A surprise can happen.”
