“We are looking forward so there is no reason to be depressed because the step
we have made in the last 12 months is something we should be proud of.
“If you look at the race, immediately afterwards we were disappointed to
finish third and fourth, but then you return to your hotel and say ‘Well,
that was fine’.
“Obviously, we are all here to win the world championship one day, and it’s
good we have raised the bar.
“Equally it’s dangerous to do so because the level of satisfaction is much
more difficult to achieve.”
With Vettel in such a dominant mood, notably winning the Singapore Grand Prix
by 32 seconds from Ferrari’s Fernando Alonso – the largest margin this
season – Wolff believes the German could easily go on to win the last six
races.
Part of the reason is that with the major change in regulations for next year,
development this season has now flatlined as teams plough their resources
into the development of the 2014 car.
Asked whether he feared a clean sweep of the last six races by Red Bull and
Vettel, Wolff replied: “Yes.
“In Singapore, the kind of performance he showed by going two seconds per lap
faster was absolutely stunning, and if they don’t have any DNFs…
“I don’t know if he will have a clean sweep, but if anybody deserves the world
championship, then it’s him.”
