Ferrari driver Sebastian Vettel has warned Lewis Hamilton and Nico Rosberg that he is firmly in the title race this season.

The German picked up his second win of the season in the Hungarian Grand Prix last weekend, and now sits just 42 points behind Hamilton at the top of the table.

The 28-year-old admitted that he is on the backfoot due to Mercedes’ dominant pace, but vowed that he will fight to the end.

He told reporters: "We know we have to remain realistic, that there is still a lot of work to do and a lot of catching up to do.

"You never know. I'm sure we will try absolutely everything, and try to make the impossible possible.

"The best way of doing that is to remain calm, to try to do your best, and then we will see where the journey takes us.

"I'm sure it's well appreciated by all the team to have a bit of a break now, and to recap on a very strong start."

The next race is in Belgium in three weeks.
