SPIELBERG, Austria -- Sebastian Vettel said Ferrari did not have enough pace to threaten Mercedes during qualifying for the Austrian Grand Prix.
Vettel had to settle for third on the grid for tomorrow's race, 0.344s off the time which earned Valtteri Bottas pole position. Although he felt the gap could have been smaller he doubts he had enough pace in hand to get any closer to Bottas or championship rival Lewis Hamilton.
"I think there was a little bit more in me," Vettel said. "I had a tough start in Q3 I had an error, and it's not that easy to recover because I knew I needed to put a good lap in otherwise I start quite far back.
