Vettel acknowledged, “I’m responsible for the changes as equally as the team and we were confident we were applying the right things. But I think we need to calm down.” Arrivabene added, “Something went wrong for both drivers. We need to check now what happened. You see the timings of this morning, it’s not comparable.”
