The second and final in-season test session for the 2017 Formula One Championship season came to an end on Wednesday at the Hungaroring circuit with Ferrari driver Sebastian Vettel at the top of the timesheets.

Vettel, who led home a Ferrari one two in the race on Sunday, took the wheel of the SF70H at 9 am on Wednesday morning and completing a total of 47 laps and setting the fastest time of the session before handing the reigns over to his teammate, Kimi Raikkonen.

“You don't get a lot of testing over the season”, Seb said, “so it was a good opportunity to try a couple of things and get a feeling from the car. Obviously, in such a brief test you are not expecting to turn the world upside down, but it will be useful for the next races and for a better understanding of the car.”

“I think this year we've been strong pretty much everywhere, of course there have been races in which we did not perform at our best; of course there will always differences from track to track, but the purpose of all the work we do is to be in a good shape for the rest of the season."

"We've picked up momentum with the win in Hungary, now it's up to us to keep it going, but I am confident that we have the right people and are going in the right direction. As for my holidays… I haven't done much planning, I think I'll just be getting some rest, after all those flights!”

When Kimi got behind the wheel he continued the development work Sebastian had started earlier.The Finn completed a total of 60 laps with a best time of 1''17'842 on Supersoft tires, the third fastest time of the session.

“We always bring something different, irrespective of where we are and try to learn from it, commented Kimi. “We had a very good result, as a team, here in Hungary, but we always try to improve further,” Kimi said. “Today was a normal testing day, but obviously here you have more time and tires available than you have during a race weekend, so we try to get the best out of it.”

“In the last few races, my feeling with the car has improved consistently, which shows that the new things we've brought have helped me drive better and better. Also, I am happy that I could help Charles Leclerc prepare for his test, but then it's fair to say that all the team supported him”.

Now it's time for not only the drivers, but all the team, to have some well-deserved rest during the two-week summer break, to get ready for the forthcoming challenges.
