“We have a strong car so we can be as confident as… more than anybody else,” he said. “It was a very positive weekend, it was just one of those moments, my mistake.

“Apologies to the team, they did everything right, I had it in my hands, small mistake, big disappointment.

“We go to Hungary and we try to do what we can and then we see. We have showed enough times. Everyone knows what we can do, so [I’m] confident looking forward to Hungary.”

“It’s not like tonight I will have difficulties falling asleep because of what I have done wrong,” Vettel said. “I was just a tiny bit too late on the brakes, locked the front then locked the rears and couldn’t turn in.

“It is something I have done wrong and I should have done better but it wasn’t the biggest mistake I have done. It was probably one of the most costly ones but that’s how it goes sometimes.”

“It was a small mistake but a big impact on the race,” the German said.

“We had the pace, controlled most of the race – just sad it ended in the sand pit. It’s disappointing because up to then everything was sweet.”
