If it feels looks like a step forward and it feels like step forward, than it must be a real step forward, said Sebastian Vettel after sampling his 2017 mount, the Ferrari SF70H.
The German followed team mate Kimi Raikkonen behind the wheel of the Scuderia's new war horse yesterday at Fiorano following its presentation a few hours earlier.
"It is fun to drive. The car looks big and strong," commented Vettel. "And the first impression is the right one."
"We didn't have any problems. It was a good and a good start."
Ferrari, and Vettel in particular, are hoping the SF70H will turn around the House of Maranello's fortunes in F1.
Looking back, the legendary team won its last F1 race in 2015 in Singapore while it's last driver's championship was conquered in 2007 with Kimi Raikkonen.
