Vettel: We'll benefit from new diffuser

The Red Bull Racing team will introduce a new diffuser at this weekend's Monaco Grand Prix. The team was one of the few teams left on the grid using a different kind of floor, but according to Vettel the team's new diffuser should help them push even harder through the streets of Monaco.

Sebastian Vettel has claimed one victory so far this season and is currently in third position in the F1 championship table. The young German can't wait to race in Monaco as it is one of his favourite tracks. "The track in Monaco is very special. It would be a dream really to win this race on Sunday," Vettel said.

Vettel believes the team's new diffuser, which will be used for the first time at this weekend's Grand Prix, should help push the team forwards and fight the Brawn GP drivers. "The new diffuser will bring the next step forward. It should really help us, but it is difficult to predict how big our step forward will be. At a track such as Monaco (low downforce) I'm sure the diffuser should be able to help a lot."
