Brawn beware, warns Vettel

Sebastian Vettel is confident that the Red Bull Racing team can begin to reel in leaders Brawn GP, starting in Great Britain this weekend. The German driver, who is currently third in the championship and thirty-two points behind leader Jenson Button, is confident that - with the latter struggling in practice - amends can be made at Silverstone.

Vettel is confident heading into qualifying

Having finished atop the timesheets in both first and second practice on Friday, Vettel slipped to fourth behind the two Williams and Jarno Trulli on Saturday morning, although Button was classified in only 12th place. "For six out of seven races they have been uncatchable, so maybe it is time for a change," Vettel said at Silverstone on Saturday morning.

"Just prior to this race, I have been at the factory and the people are really working flat-out and pushing very hard to make the car faster and faster; everyone is extremely ambitious to beat the Brawns - I think we have made another step here, it looks pretty promising, so let's see how it goes in qualifying."
