Sebastian Vettel believes that Ferrari's final step towards title success will be the hardest. Following a number of disappointing seasons, Ferrari sprung into a title challenge in 2017, taking the fight to Mercedes who enjoyed three years of domination.
Ferrari ultimately lost out to the Silver Arrows, with Mercedes claiming the constructors' title in the US and Vettel conceding defeat to Lewis Hamilton in the race for a fifth drivers' title in Mexico. Vettel believes that Ferrari can return as the kings of F1, but knows the final hurdle will be the most difficult.
"Obviously the regulations stay roughly the same," said Vettel of the 2018 rules. "I think we have a good and healthy platform to build on at the beginning of the year so I hope we can continue.
"What we have to do is take that final step. If you look back, it's always that final step that's the hardest. There's a lot of work going on already and for the last couple of months focusing on next year, trying to make the car faster, with more power into the power unit, and then we'll see where we are."
