Speaking to Sky Germany during FP2, Vettel said it was “extremely hard” to watch from the sidelines.“It hurts to see these cars go past,” he said. “I knew it would be hard to be here, but here it is extremely hard. It is.. I mean it was my favourite track. I said last year my comeback would be here. Well, now I‘m standing here.“It was always more a pleasure than a challenge. Of course you need to manage tyres, but hitting the corners just right, to become one with the car, so you‘re always perfect. Especially the corners that go up the hill.. I love that.“Explaining in more detail what his favourite part of the legendary Suzuka circuit is, Vettel said: “Corners 2, 3, 4, then making the car lighter on the rear axle, and then go over the little hill at five. “You always need to look at the next corner. I raced here many times, but this is my first time standing here. Related The F1 star that has been likened to Schumacher and Alonso Ecclestone: “Verstappen the best ever” – but explains key Hamilton difference“Well, I don‘t remember the wall to be so close.
