SILVERSTONE, U.K. -- Sebastian Vettel is confident he will be able to race unimpaired at the British Grand Prix despite suffering a neck strain ahead of qualifying on Saturday.
Vettel secured second place on Sunday's grid -- 0.44s off Lewis Hamilton on pole position -- after one of the closest qualifying sessions at Silverstone in recent memory. His preparations in final practice were cut short when he strained muscles during a qualifying simulation run in the morning, but he said the injury was brought under control in time for qualifying itself.
"It wasn't the most enjoyable session but I did the session so it was fine," he said.
