Sebastian Vettel is confident despit trailing in the championship title race

Sep.3 (GMM) Sebastian Vettel is adamant he is still on course for the 2010 title, despite being roundly criticised for making too many mistakes.

Fellow contender Jenson Button has revealed that the 23-year-old German apologised after crashing him out of last Sunday’s Belgian grand prix.

“Seb called after the race to apologise, which was good, but it doesn’t give me my points back,” the McLaren driver told Talksport.

The pair are now more than 30 points off the championship lead, but Red Bull’s Vettel remains remarkably upbeat.

“I know how good we are — I will take the title,” he confidently predicted in the pages of Germany’s latest Auto Bild Motorsport.

“Someone who has the most pole positions must think that way. These 13 races have not run completely smoothly, but I’m only 31 points behind.

“Assuming we maintain our speed, we can catch up quickly,” added Vettel. He said he is “honest enough” to acknowledge the mistakes he has made in 2010.

“In the end, it makes you a better driver,” insisted Vettel, but he admitted that he is not a good loser. Why should I be? If I could lose well, I should not be in the sport,” he said.

“But I’m also someone who can put things in the past and look ahead when the next morning comes.”

    You’re right about that, F1 Novice, the more he uses the finger sign, the more he reinforces my opinion that he’s just a spoilt frustrating brat, who needs to grow up and learn to act like a man and drive like a man. (Simillar to what Weber’s doing).
    PK.

    That pose with that finger in the primary photo above does my head in – He’s got to earn the right to do that if anything he is devaluing it’s meaning – when you’ve won the WDC instead of taking off the current WDC with an ill though out bordering on a “rookie” move then you can use your finger until then I wish some one would snap it off ! :)
