Vettel expects Renault engine to be more reliable

Sebastian Vettel

In 2009 Sebastian Vettel suffered from several engine problems. The German Red Bull Racing driver was forced to change his engine several times last year but in 2010 the Formula 1 driver expects less problems with his F1 engine. "It's correct that we had some engine problems during last season and there is no way to get around that," Vettel told the official F1 site. "But I know Renault looked into them, and towards the end of the season we didn't have any more issues. Please don't forget that, even though everybody predicted us to have an additional engine change and to receive a penalty, we did not. So while there was nobody in a worse position, we didn't lose ground because of it and could continue to fight for the championship.

"We have all worked hard over the winter, not only at Renault and Viry, and have analyzed what went wrong during the season, so that it doesn't happen again."
