AUSTIN -- Sebastian Vettel thinks it would be "completely wrong" for Ferrari to panic after the setbacks which have derailed his 2017 title bid but says the team must work to ensure they do not spill over into future campaigns.
This year's championship fight has dramatically swung in Lewis Hamilton's direction since Vettel collided with Ferrari teammate Kimi Raikkonen and Red Bull's Max Verstappen in Singapore. At the following two races, engine issues -- one in qualifying in Malaysia and one on the grid in Japan -- for Vettel have helped Hamilton open up a 59-point championship lead.
