Pretty unlucky I would say and obviously I am very disappointed because it would have been a walk in the park today.' Vettel added that he would have easily won the race had it not been for his mistake.

Mark was very close so I was warming up my car and sure we had another lap then when I saw Mark and the safety car at the second last corner with a big gap to myself I realised it must be restart. Usually the leader drops back and dictates the pace. 'I was looking at the boards and waiting for the instruction when to come in but I didn't see the lights go out.

Leclerc podium 'lucky in unlucky situation'.Leclerc issue was cylinder failure, not MGU-H.'The second stint I think it could calm down a little bit with the medium tyres, but overall not the pace that we should've had today.' 'I think Charles struggled less, he had no difficulty to follow and pass me, so yeah, quite tricky. 'The car was extremely difficult to drive for me. 'I realised more or less half a lap after the start that it will be very difficult,' Vettel said. A spin while jostling with Hamilton led to a front wing failure and eventually resulted in Vettel finishing only fifth, which meant he has failed to score a podium in either of the first two races of the season for the first time since 2010.
