RED BULL TO BENEFIT FROM FERRARI'S PROBLEMS
author: Andries van der Walt
Sebastian Vettel reckons Red Bull Racing can benefit from the team orders controversy surrounding rivals Ferrari - by simply being out of the limelight and focusing on hitting back in Hungary this weekend.Red Bull Racing has had its own fair share of post-race troubles this year - especially after the controversies of Turkey and Britain - but is now seeing the heat being put on the team that beat it at Hockenheim.
And Vettel thinks the fact it is Ferrari facing such scrutiny means his own outfit can concentrate on the job at hand - which is getting back on top of the podium at the Hungaroring."It's quite a comedy, as now people have something else to write and talk about," said Vettel. "It will be a quiet week for us until Hungary which is good. We can ensure we keep up the pressure and the focus to bounce back next week."I think we have a very strong car and that's been proven again in Germany, even though I think Ferrari made a step forward and they like this circuit a lot and its characteristic.
Vettel has said he is not worried yet about what his rivals are up to."At the end of the championship we will know how much every point was worth at every venue," he said. "We have to focus on us. We've had already quite some trouble for various reasons this year, so it's good not to be in the spotlight this time."
