Sebastian Vettel believes he is hopeful of winning the 2018 Formula One championship title after winning the “redhead” car on Sunday at the Spa Race.

Not only that, but Ferrari was faster than Hamilton’s Mercedes, who for a moment did not manage to fight with the Italian car. Naturally, the German driver also deserves to make a fantastic start, overtaking Hamilton when he did not wait.

“We did a good start. Although Hamilton kept the left side I knew that when I started the hill I could skate, as the car wins speed. Then, I was able to manage the advantage, as we were faster than Mercedes, “Vettel said, who is now just 17 points behind the British rival in the overall rankings.

Speaking about the race, the German driver adds: “Hamilton tried hard to reopen the race, but I managed to keep up with a steady pace. I was lucky at the time of the tire change, as I did not have traffic, and finally Levi pulled away from the idea of ​​overtaking me and victory became easier. For me and Ferrari this is a great step forward and I hope to continue the next race in Monza, “said Sebastian Vettel.
