Sebastian Vettel said he isn?t concerned about Ferrari?s prospects for qualifying despite the team languishing well off the pace.
Despite damaging his car twice due to mistakes during the second practice session Vettel set the team?s quickest time of the day but was over 1.3 seconds slower than Daniel Ricciardo?s pace-setting Red Bull.
?It was not a ?clean? day in the office today,? Vettel admitted. ?Our session was a bit scrappy. I touched the wall, damaged the rear wing, but luckily we were able to fix it and carry on.?
Vettel believes there is more performance to be had from the SF16-H.
?I just didn?t get everything out of the car, couldn?t find the rhythm and didn?t do good laps on the ultra-soft tyres,? he said. ?If you look at the standings, we don?t belong where we scored today.?
?But overall the car is good and has the pace. So I am not worried for Saturday. Today our focus was not towards ranking high up, we tried a couple of things and it is fair to say that some of them didn?t work.?
As well as both Red Bulls and Mercedes, Vettel was also out-paced by Daniil Kvyat?s Toro Rosso. ?Being the first practice day it is also difficult to see what other people did,? Vettel added.
