Sebastian Vettel is pinning his hopes of a strong result at the Malaysian Grand Prix in rain hitting the Sepang circuit tomorrow.The Red Bull driver qualified in third position, but will drop the 13th on the grid after his 10-place penalty for his incident with Robert Kubica at the Australian Grand Prix.
Vettel reckons he has a strong car, but is aware that he will need special circumstances to come into play tomorrow if he's going to be fighting near the top.
"There is nothing I can do so the secret is to focus on what we are here to do," said Vettel. "We are here to race, of course, and it is a shame to see the car performing at a good level.
"Through Q1, Q2 and Q3 we were more or less in the top five. It's a shame to have plus 10 tomorrow so it will be difficult.
"I hope for some rain because it can mix it up tomorrow."
Team-mate Mark Webber, seventh fastest, will start from a strong fifth position after what he labelled as an enjoyable session.
"Qualifying's tight," said Webber. "That was quite an enjoyable session. It would be nice to have a bit more of a cushion between us and the other cars, but that's not what it's about at the moment and seventh is the best I could do.
"With the strategy we're on, we'll see how we go tomorrow."
