SHANGHAI, China - New Ferrari driver Sebastian Vettel was still beaming two weeks after winning his first Formula 1 race in 16 months but said ahead of the Chinese Grand Prix (April 12) that he did not expect his team to produce a consistent challenge to Mercedes yet.
"I think we are realistic about where we are and what we want to achieve," said Vettel.
For the next few races, he added, the team would focus on beating the teams behind it in the Constructors' standings, "but knowing that Mercedes is in a very, very strong position".
