Formula One world champion Sebastian Vettel is in relaxed before the Australian Grand Prix Sunday despite the pre-season problems endured by his team Red Bull.

“The car we use in Melbourne will only be the same car which we tested in winter from the outside,” Vettel told the Welt am Sonntag paper on Sunday.

But after several problems in the pre-season tests in Jerez and Bahrain, Vettel also knows that time will be needed to put things right.

“Only in the world of comics would such a process work quickly and immediately. But only in Melbourne will we know how far away from the competition we actually are.” The 26-year-old Vettel already has four world championships to his name and also dismissed the notion of moving to Ferrari.
