Heading to the British Grand Prix this weekend, Sebastian Vettel has revealed that Ferrari can improve its performance in qualifying. So far this season, the four time champion has secured one pole position at the Russian Grand Prix along with six other front row starts while fourth position remains as his lowest starting position at Baku.
Talking about Silverstone, Vettel revealed that "It should be a good track for us," when talking to Germany's RTL. "Silverstone is full of fast corners. I think we can improve a bit in qualifying," he added. "Mercedes seem to be able to pull out a bit more performance than us."
Heading to the British Grand Prix this weekend, Vettel leads the Drivers' Championship by 20 points ahead of Lewis Hamilton who is his nearest rival on the grid. The round at Silverstone marks the tenth race of the 2017, and the half-way point of the current season of competition.

Mercedes qualifying pace seems to come at the expense of cooking the tires a little bit during the race. And if that's the tradeoff, then I'd prefer good race pace.
