Nešto mi teško da povjerujem da je na kraju 2012. otišao u Maranello sa željom da vozi za Ferrari...

A ne Felipe, on je došao 2012 da bi pričao o budućnosti. Možda je već onda htio s obzirom na promjenu pravila vozit za Ferrari 2014.

Nisu oni znali da će Renault imati blago rečeno katastrofu... Sve je tada izgledalo fino i super za RB, nije bilo ni riječi od odlasku Neweya ni dolasku Ricciarda, a Vettel je upravo pobijedio Alonsa kojeg je njegov Ferrari izdao bezbroj puta u toj sezoni. Meni je i dalje teško povjerovati u tu priču

Jedno je čvrsto željeti a drugo je realnost. Realnost je da je 2008. godine počela priča o nemotiviranom Kimiju i dolasku Alonsa u Ferrari. Realnost je da Alonso 2010. godine došao u Ferrari. Realnost je da su Kubica i Hulkenberg imali predugovor sa Ferrarijem (sigurno ne na njihovu inicijativu...), a ne Vettel. Realnost je da je RB (H. Marko ili tko već) otkrio Vettela i da su ga čvrsto vezali pod svoje. Kao što to su to učinili npr. sa Kvyatom ili Verstappenom pogotovo.
Realnost je da Vettel obožava Ferrari. Ja mislim da nije bilo vozača u Ferrarijevoj povijesti koji su bili toliki ljubitelji crvenog tima, a da nisu još vozili za Ferrari. Pa čak ni Schumi.
Realnost je da Vettel nikad ne bi ranije prešao u Ferrari da ugovorom čvrsto nije bio vezan za Red Bull i da nije imao odlično složenu ekipu s kojom je na kraju krajeva osvojio naslove.
Ne slažem se s ovime da je već početkom 2014. godine odlučio otići iz RB-a. Realnost je ono što je rekao Arrivabene, Marchione i sam Vettel, a to je da su prvi razgovori oko prelaska u Ferrari i potpis ugovora obavljeni oko Sochija a prije Japana.
Ovo sve prije toga su uvijek bili samo razgovori, dok su neki drugi imali konkretne predugovore (a opet na kraju krajeva ništa). Jer ako je Vettel stvarno toliko htio preći u Ferrari, a bio je u Maranellu, zašto nije potpisao taj predugovor? ili 2010? ili 2008?
Zašto? Zato što se na kraju dana gleda što se najbolje nudi na tržištu. A realnost je da je trenutno najbolje sjediti u Mercedesu. I zato si Hamilton može dopustiti reći da ga ne zanima vožnja za Ferrari.
Kao što bi pod velikim pitanjem bilo bi li Vettel danas vozio za Ferrari da je RB bio al pari sa Mercom prošle sezone. Na kraju krajeva imao je još godinu dana ugovora.

Rekao je da je već bio u hrvatskoj, na Jadranu naravno. Zna Seb šta valja

Evo i intervju sa tog događaja:

SV: Mislim da ovo nije baš najbolje doba godine za posjetiti Hrvatsku jer je dosta hladno, mnogo je bolje po ljeti. Ovo mi nije prvi put da sam u Hrvatskoj, bio sam i ranije na ljetovanju. Zaista je lijepo, posebno na moru. Mnogo je otoka i imate prekrasnu zemlju.

Kako se osjećaš u novim bojama?

SV: Da, crvena i bijela. Mislim da je to nešto posebno za svakog vozača. Dok sam odrastao u Njemačkoj, Michael je bio jako dobar u crvenom bolidu, a moj je san bio jednog dana voziti u Formuli 1. Jednako tako, san je bio jednog dana voziti taj crveni Ferrari. San se ove sezone napokon ostvario i veselim se otvaranju nove sezone u Australiji sljedećeg tjedna.

Kako se postaje vozač Formule 1? Postoji li škola za to?

SV: Pa ne baš, a ne pomaže vam niti slanje životopisa timovima. Važno je početi vrlo rano, dok ste dijete u karting utrkama. Tako sam i ja krenuo kad mi je bilo 7 ili 8 godina. Idete korak po korak i postajete sve brži i brži. S 15 ili 16 godina spremni ste za prelazak u bolide koji već izgledaju kao formule, ali su manji i imaju manje snage.

Kad si prvi put vozio Ferrari? 2015. ili?

SV: Ne, vozio sam ga već 2014. Na privatnoj stazi u Fioranu imao sam priliku upoznati članove tima i isprobati stariji bolid. Ne smijem baš otkriti detalje, ali to je bio početak prije samih testiranja novog bolida.

Kako je bilo na testiranju u Španjolskoj?

SV: Pa mislim da je sve prošlo dosta dobro. Teško mi je uspoređivati s prošlim godinama jer nisam bio dio tima, ali mislim da smo napravili dobar korak. Svi su odlučni u tome da vrate Ferrari na vrh jer smatramo da tamo pripada.

Nakon što su otkrili bolid iz 2013., koliko se bolidi mijenjaju iz godine u godinu?

SV: Dosta se mijenjaju, a posebno su se mijenjali nakon 2013. godine, dakle nakon ove generacije bolida. Od prošle smo sezone imali veliku promjenu u pravilima. Promjenu motora, ali i bolida. Putem TV ekrana možda nije lako prepoznati sve te razlike, ali kad imate bolid kraj bolida onda dobro vidite koliko su se promijenili. Svakako najveća promjena su ti vrlo niski nosevi bolida od 2014. godine. Ta se promjena dogodila zbog sigurnosnih razloga, a sve ovisi što vam se više sviđa. Meni se sviđaju i niski, ali i ovi stariji visoki nosevi.

Hoće li novi bolid biti brži od ovoga iz 2013.?

SV: Promjena u pravilima učinila je bolide inicijalno sporijima. Izgubili su nešto snage i izgubili su na gripu. U 2014. godini smo bili dosta sporiji nego godinu ranije, ali brzina razvoja u Formuli 1 je nevjerojatna. Iz godine u godinu, ali i tijekom sezone. Zato mislim da će ovogodišnji bolidi po brzini biti blizu onima iz 2013.

Radiš li ti s inženjerima na razvoju bolida?

SV: Da, to je jako važno. Ja sam jedini koji vozi bolid tako da im jedino ja mogu reći kakav je osjećaj voziti ga i kako se on ponaša.

Novi Vettelov intervju:



Sebastian Vettel: Ferrari establish a second force

The four-time world champion on the differences between Red Bull Racing and Ferrari, realistic goals in the new season and the name for his cars.
The season opener in the formula is getting closer. Good ten days before the first race in Melbourne, the four-time world champion Sebastian Vettel in a sponsor date in Mönchengladbach was answer. SPEEDWEEK.com was there and recorded the responses of the Ferrari drivers. Sebastian Vettel on:


-the realistic goals at the start of the season:
No one is unbeatable. Mercedes has had a very, very big advantage of course last year. It would be a surprise if he were suddenly gone. It is therefore to be expected that Mercedes will be very strong at the beginning of the new season. The favorite role is so forgiving. But all others have to catch up a bit. How much, will it show. We hope that we are significantly better there as a team than last year. The signs are good, the car feels good and the lap times were so far wrong. The rest will show up in ten days.

-the differences between Red Bull and Ferrari:
It is spoken much with your hands at Ferrari. No, each team has its own way of working and each team works for themselves. Of course, there are things that are different. Some are better, some are perhaps not so good and can be optimized. The basic principle, there is a functioning team. It is very much over the winter, many people are gone, have changed the position or have been newly added as I. Therefore, there are lots of new things and it left its mark will pass on a team. Until now, the mood is very good, the development is good, and we know where we want. We also know that there is still a long way off. It's only step by step, you can not uproot trees. The pride of the Ferrari brand is palpable, and it is also something very special. The biggest difference: At Ferrari everything under one roof happens. Not only the car is built in Maranello, but also of the motor. This has many advantages.

-his notebook, which he wore during the tests to himself:
Take notes Yes everyone knows from the everyday life. In school, one was prompted to write things. Since you can remember not everything in life, it makes sense that to write up one or the other is, before you forget it. Maybe I am also not clever enough and need this help.

-them to tasks:
If we go on the track and collect data, we need to evaluate this data. These are the homework. Things get broken, that happens. It is good if it happens before the start of the season, because during the season that would have consequences. This is normal, as a completely new car is built over the winter. Many components are same or similar, but the layout is new. And appear to be errors or problems that need to be resolved. And the homework of which one speaks then. You want to be reliable in the first race. Otherwise you want to the data so, evaluate that you take as much performance, maximum performance and is so quick in the first race, how it can be up to.

-the future of the Germany GP:
There is always hope. I don't know how exactly the level is. As I talked yet with Bernie about it. He is a businessman, you may have to look just so. A very prominent subject, what about the distribution of money in formula one is up-to-date. It is of course a manner, to bring money back into the Fund and to keep the team alive. I think he can be here not so much to negotiate. I can give him because I think what I want to say. On the conditions, it appears at the moment to fail. What is bad not only for the German driver. Mercedes is very successful at the moment, and then it would be nice if you could celebrate on German soil.

-the statements by President Sergio Marchionne, 2018 to clinch the World Cup title and the pressure of expectation:
Of course, first, I want to be world champion. That's why I'm the biggest pressure itself. This has always been like that the own drive was greater than what people from one request. I absolutely believe otherwise I would not have dared to step. If I would have been convinced of it, that there is nothing, then I would not have made it. What I've seen so far, I am very confident. But: With the many changes it takes some time. But the sooner, the better.
the name for his Ferrari:
The name will be discussed until next week and decided. It is obvious that there will be an Italian name. So far, there is still no favourites.
the accident by Fernando Alonso and the theories this includes:
The most important thing is that it's okay. Of course, it is a pity that he can't drive. But I think that speculation does not help there. He suffered a concussion and it is quite normal to avoid any risk. I believe it is the right decision to say «Stop». Exactly what happened: I was behind it, but too far away to be able to see exactly how the accident occurred. I can see only the last piece of it. The impact itself looked not so dramatically. Of course, it was a shock to hear that he was unconscious at the first moment.

-his team-mate Kimi Räikkönen:
He is actually difficult not, nor bulky. I've known him longer. And he was one of few who have treated me with a lot of respect from the outset. I appreciate that, and our approach is very respectful. He's not so much talking. This is partly a Finnish property, the tick just a little bit different. He is very honest and I expect no trouble. Even if we get time together, are like adult enough to make the topic from the world.

-Victories in this season:
According to this, it's hard to say. It depends on how much Mercedes will start in the season. You will be very strong, it is to go out. As regards the field behind it, it will be very, very exciting. There we hope to be able to catch up and us medium to long term this year as the second force establish can. That would be a big step.

Gazzetin veliki intervju:



The surprise arrives at the end of the interview, when after the last glass of water, Vettel shakes your hand and say "Thanks see you soon" in a perfect italian . How it comes? Do you already speak italian ? He smiles "I understand it well, but not enough to answer during interviews" . It’s the dream of how the 4th time world champion immersed himself in the Ferrari adventure with enthusiasm, humility, desire to integate immediately. He did it in other ways too, reading magazines and books about the Ferrari myth, because Vettel loves the stoy and he bought himself a Ferrari, in previous years, before he received the offer to become Ferrari driver. Smart, curios and genuinely ironic and funny, Vettel decided to restart from zero with a Ferrari arriving from poor seasons, like if his four titles belonged to another life.

Even if it’s not so, his true carrier starts from Ferrari. Just like, at 27 years old, did Schumacher. Schumi brought with him the whole Benetton team with him, Vettel arrives alone, deciding in 1st person economic details, limits, freedoms, clause to stay or to go. He spoke directly with Montezemolo first, and then with Marchionne . That’s enough to define him. And obviously there is much more, cause you don’t win 4 titles and 39 races by chance. Instead of reclining on the past, he decided to put himself in discussion, in a very risky adventure. Because, let’s say, that if Raikkonen, outclassed last year by Alonso, would finish ahead of him, his reputation would be hurt . But Vettel is not afraid of this, instead he thinks in big : Red Bull gave him acknowledgment, in Ferrari he looks for consecration in history of Formula 1. That Alonso didn’t had, because Ferrari enhances or destroys.



SEBASTIAN, CAN YOU TELL US THE BACKSTORY OF YOUR ARRIVAL IN FERRARI ?

It’s a story that starts from long time ago, I was 13 years old, it was 2003, when I was able to step into Ferrari box in Nurburgring. I was there cause I driving in BMW Formula. I didn’t knew no one except Michael (Schumacher). The, once arrived in Toro Rosso, I started to talk with Domenicali and the Ferrari mechanics who were working on my Ferrari engine. Since 2008, when I was driving for Red Bull, I talked a lot with Domenicali about my possible future in Ferrari. In 2010 there was another attempt, but always with nothing written on paper. In the winter between 2012/2013 I secretly even went to Maranello to meet Montezemolo to talk about my future in red.

UNTIL ?

Until the half of last year, when Domenicali wasn’t there no more, and talks kept going, I met Mattiacci and I spoke again with Montezemolo. But at some point even Montezemolo and Mattiacci disappered from scene. Anyway talks kept going , and I asked Sabine Kehm opinion . Sadly I couldn’t asked Michael’s one.

NOT EVEN IN THE PAST YOU WERE ABLE TO ASK HIM (SCHUMACHER) SOMETHING ABOUT FERRARI ?

Oh yes! Some time ago, I told him about Domenicali proposal, I told him that I felt honoured and he told me that if I would accepted I would have found a good atmosphere and great enthusiasm in Maranello. It seemed a dream. Today I am happy to be inside that dream…

AND WITH MARCHIONNE ?

He phoned me telling me that he would have been happy if we could do something together. I asked hime how he obtained my phone number , he started laughing. His message was clear : Ferrari wanted me, and it was the next step I wanted too.

YOU SAID YOU WOULD HAVE LIKED TO MEET ENZO FERRARI, WHY ?

Because he had a vision, and he concretized it. I think he was a though man, formidable inc reating a company and a movement of passion linked to the races. That made of it a manufacturer different from the others. Enzo Ferrari in Italy is culture.

HOW DID YOU LEARNED TO BE YOURSELF MANAGER ? FROM WHO DO YOU ACCEPT ADVICES ?

Let’s clarify : I always talk in first person details , then I have a lawyer that put things on paper. I did so in every team. But obviously, I talk about my choices with the person most close to me, my fianceé. With her I talked a lot about my arrival in Ferrari . I did it even with my parents and some close friend. In my career, my dad has been fundamental

DID YOU EVER MADE HIM A PRESENT ?

Are you asking me if I bought him a Ferrari ? Yes I did. But I think, for my parents, the most beautiful gift is the time I spend with them even though the travels, commitments and everything else

DID YOU KNOW THAT WHEN YOU WERE LIVING IN ZUG, YOU HAD A NEIGHBOR NAMED SERGIO MARCHIONNE ?

They told me there was a FIAT manager, I didn’t know who he was. Then. four years ago I moved

THE FIRST TIME YOU CAME TO ITALY ?

I was a kid , During the winter, instead of skiing I come to Italy to karting : Jesolo, Lonato, Desenzano, Tivoli

HOW YOU WERE IMAGING FERRARI FROM THE OUTSIDE ?

Red ! I’m kidding. When I visited it in November for the first time , I saw a modern team with a great potential. The working methods are not so different, goals are the same : win

YOU WON FOUR TITLES WITH CAR DESIGNED BY NEWEY. WHAT INFLUENCE HE HAD IN YOUR CAREER ?

A Key man. After 2008, with new rules and the RB5 , came the turning point and arrived the titles. And engineer with insights, a leader able to put the right people together pointing the right direction to follow.

WHY ALONSO AND HAMILTON, HAVE TEASED YOU WHEN YOU WERE ALWAYS WINNING , LIKE IF THEY WERE JEALOUS ? ALONSO SAID : I WANT TO SEE VETTEL WHEN HE WILL HAVE A LESS COMPETITIVE CAR …

They really did ? I didn’t know that.. I don’t pay too much attention to waht others says about me, as answer to them I can say that I respect both of them.

WITH WEBBER, TEAM MATE FOR YEARS, YOU HAD A RELATIONSHIP THAT COULD BE DEFINED DIFFICULT

I wouldn’t say difficult. We always respected each other, and as team mates we brought results to Red Bull, knowing that both of us are great workers and we have a similar driving style. On a personal side, things were different we had difficulties in races , crashes that should have not happened like in Turkey 2010 or Malaysia 2013 . Things that didn’t helped at all. Today I’m not his best friend and he is not mine. When last year he crashed with the Porsche I suddenly sent him a message to see if he was ok and he was ok. We could even have a lunch together.

THERE IS A LOT OF TALKS ABOUT YOUR HAPPY RELATIONSHIP WITH RAIKKONEN : YOU SAID IT, FERRARI TOO. FROM WHAT COMES SUCH HARMONY ?

I met Kimi some time in Switzerland where we both live. I was struck by the fact that he shown respect to me since the 1st moment I stepped in F1, and I was a nobody. Over the time he has not changed. Even with me he doesn’t talk a lot, but he’s straight forward as indeed I do. If we have problems we will face them

WOULD HAVE YOU LIKED TO BE ALONSO TEAM MATE AT FERRARI?

Mmmm! I am very happy to race with Kimi

ARE YOU RELIGOIUS ?

Yes, protestant

SUPERSTITIOUS ?

Yes

AFTER FOUR TITLES, IS THERE SOMETHING OF RACES YOU STILL DON’T UNDERSTAND ?

There are a lot of areas on which I can improve . I’m always focused : I look, I learn, I see, I’m ready to adapt

WHO WILL 2015 FIRST RACE ?

The favourites are two : Hamilton and Rosberg

AND THE CHAMPIONSHIP ?

yet again Hamilton and Rosberg, last year I didn’t expected a so strong Rosberg, specially in qualifying. in races he was always so close to Hamilton. They still are the ones to beat.

DO YOU IMAGINED A SO CONVINCING FERRARI DURING PRE SEASON ?

It’s hard to say how much strong we are. You have to be patient. But the car is obviously good, Kimi and I are both happy. Ferrari is a team that has changed a lot since last year. We need time to melt but soon or later we ‘ll be there

HOW MUCH TIME ?

I hope the little as possible. If it will not be this year we’ll not step back saying we knew we had to wait for 2016 !

ARE YOU SINCERE DURING INTERVIEWS ?

I’m not used to lie

Lauda thinks that there will be "Vettel effect" at Ferrari if the car is strong but he's sure that also Kimi will go along, like at Mercedes 2 drivers who will push each other. Mercedes will have to watch out. generally he expects a third or 4th driver fighting for championship.

________________________________



Arrivabene:

Vettel has surprised me with his eye for detail & his concentration. He takes notes & talks about these notes at the briefings. Vettel is fully integrated into the team, he's 120% part of the family. Arrivabene: Vettel is super professional. When I see him working I sometimes feel emotional, as he reminds me of another German [Schumacher]. He's also a funny guy. And he has his feet on the ground.Anyway, it does not surprise me that Sebastian has won four world titles. He is a hard worker and a great person. But please let us also not forget that Kimi is the last Ferrari champion. Therefore, both the perfect combination for us.

Jel se to meni čini ili se Vettelu 'stopila' šubara sa pozadinom???

..ma totalno, a ovi skafanderi suim tako 80'sh

::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::

Ricciardo: Vettel is only human

Evo slučajno naletih na ovaj podatak. Fangio, Andretti, Mansell, Raikkonen i Alonso su pobijedili na svojim prvim trkama za Ferrari, to nije mali broj vozača.
I iskreno, ako Massa trku završi ranije nego planirano, navijaću za Seba da se i on upiše u to društvo, zaslužio je.
