Vettel: Every lap is different in Bahrain

Sebastian Vettel has claimed that every lap during the Grand Prix at the Bahrain International Circuit is different due to changing surroundings and desert climate, with sand set to present a major obstacle for the drivers during the race this weekend.

The German made a disappointing start to the 2019 season when he finished fourth in Melbourne, failing to claim a podium spot in the process.

He will be aiming to get back on track on Sunday at the Bahrain GP where he is the most successful driver in history, having won on four occasions including the last two races.

It won’t be easy, however, as he reckons that the track presents a unique problem for drivers.

"It is hard to find the right rhythm in the desert, mainly because of the sand that the wind blows onto the track," Vettel admitted.

"Therefore every lap is different, which can be a decisive factor, especially in qualifying.

"If you move just a few inches off the ideal line, you start to slide and you can throw your lap in the bin, because you just can't make up the time you lose at this point.”

Due to the characteristics of the track, Vettel believes that drivers are more prone to mistakes at the Bahrain International Circuit than at other venues.

"Therefore, the rate of mistakes is significantly higher than at other circuits,” he added.
