Vettel not worried about thinner Pirelli tyres

But Vettel is at least not overly worried about the thinner Pirelli tyres.

"We found what made us so uncompetitive in Spain. The problem was not the new tyre, but how we prepared our car for them. We were wrong.

That makes me confident that when we use these stiffer tyres again, we'll know what to do," said Vettel.
