“I’m trying not to think about it to be honest,” said the Red
Bull driver. “I’m trying to focus more on the present. We
obviously won the title two years ago in Japan, but there are still a lot of
points to get.
“Even though it looks very good for us, there is still a chance for
Fernando, so we have to stay on top of our game. Right now we’re just having
a good time, I’m just loving what I do, and we enjoy the fact the team is
working very well.”
That said, wrapping up the title at Suzuka would be a fitting finale for
Vettel’s title charge in his eyes.
“It’s the best track in the world, to be honest,” said Vettel. “The
fans are crazy – completely crazy – in a positive way. We get massive
support there, they are big fans of motor sport, passionate about Formula
One. They enjoy the whole weekend. So I’m really looking forward to Japan,
one of the highlights of the season.”
