Speaking about the team's current car Vettel told the official Formula 1 site: "At the moment it (the STR2) looks and feels really good. We will get the new car after the first three or four races so we will start the season with an evolution of the 2007 car, the STR2B.
"In fact I see it as a benefit to start the season with a car I know and that has overcome reliability issues in the last quarter of the '07 season. Let's wait and see if we are not doing better with proven material than many others in their brand new machines having to overcome teething problems."
An exact date has not been set just yet for the team's STR3 to debut. "Nothing has been fixed yet," Vettel said. "At the moment we have concerns other than thinking about the launch of the new car. We have to push the STR2B forward. We also have to see that the development of the STR3 goes in the right direction so we have a competitive car right away, as by that time all the other teams will have solved many of their teething problems."
