Sebastian Vettel for Motorsport.it interviewed by Roberto Chinchero

English translation by sebvettelnews

"It is just difficult sometimes not to listen [to critics]. The world is moving so fast these days. I think people judge too quickly. That is my opinion."

"But that's what it is, and that's not just in Formula 1. It doesn't get any different treatment to other things if you look at other sports, you look away from sports, you look to politics."

"It is a nightmare. Every day you judge, you change your opinion. If you stand for something – values, or you have an opinion, how can you change it overnight? Unless you have a reason. But then you change it again the next night."

"But is quite funny, because three days before they say that everything is bad, and then one race after they say everything is great. For myself it is not so bad, because I've been around for a long time, and you seen ups and downs.

Do you plan to finish your F1 career at Ferrari or there is room for other challenges?

"I don't like looking too far. Maybe my decisions will be made after studying the rules that will be launched for the future & I will definitely decide what to do next year."

"I still believe in my dream, I still believe that it will work, even if the reality is always different, there are no magical 'clicks' that make everything work miraculously."

"I am happy with the reality I am experiencing. As a team we are progressing and we are doing it in the right direction. It is up to us to take the last step, the final step we have tried to make over the last two or three years."

"I don't regret anything, because I'm still in that dream, I know I drive the most prestigious car on the grid, and for me it's still a great honor. Then it's up to us to make the most prestigious car also the fastest one."

Can we consider Hamilton one of the greatest of all time?

"For me it is very clear, he absolutely is. He has been in this sport for a long time, and he is one of the most successful drivers. After Michael, I believe it is right to puthis name. I believe it is not correct to compare achievements with names like Ascari or Fangio. Every driver must be judged in his time, and Lewis is undoubtedly a great professional who stood out among all the drivers of his generation."

"Some say "ah, nowadays the driver doesn't make the difference"... Well, I don't agree. If you feel comfortable in the car, if you feel you have everything under control, then you can make a big difference..."

"You need the right car, you need the right tools, you need the team to work well, you need the development to go in the right direction, you need... whatever, you have to do everything you can to feel at home when you get in the car."

"I think it's generally a matter of trust. A driver wants to understand the behavior of the car, foresee his reactions in various situations, and when you create this feeling you can anticipate, predict..."

'I believe that you can really predict the behavior of a car when you have confidence, if you create this state you can extract more from yourself and from the car, or from the whole package."
