BUDAPEST, Hungary -- Despite suffering setbacks at the last two races, Sebastian Vettel is still confident he can deliver Ferrari its first drivers' championship since 2007.
After crashing out of the lead of the German Grand Prix one week ago, Vettel missed out on a shot at victory in Hungary this weekend despite having the quickest car in normal conditions. A wet qualifying session on Saturday saw him start from fourth on the grid at the Hungaroring before a botched pit stop brought an end to his chances of challenging Lewis Hamilton for victory on Sunday.
He now trails Hamilton by 24 points in the standings, although the signs from the last three races is that Ferrari has the more competitive overall package.
