Vettel is looking forward to the first race of the season as he looks to clinch his first-ever Austrian Grand Prix title.
“It’s no secret that we’re all really keen to get back on track, as it’s been such a long time now," Vettel said on Essentially Sports.
“I’m ready to give it my all, even if it won’t be the same without the fans there supporting us. The Austrian track is like a carousel that goes round really quickly. But I like it a lot, especially as it is high in the mountains which I love.
“We have to be realistic when it comes to the pecking order seen at the tests, but we are not downhearted. It will also be unusual doing two races in a row here as for the second one we will have a lot of data to work with. What we do in the first weekend will have an important effect on the second”
Ferrari have clinched six races at the Austrian Grand Prix with Michael Schumacher having won their last race in Spielberg in 2003.
