Sebastian Vettel has praised his Ferrari team for improving their car ahead of the 2016 season.

The German was fastest on the opening day of testing in Barcelona today, ahead of defending world champion Lewis Hamilton.

Vettel is expected to challenge Hamilton for the title this season, and he is in a bullish mood.

"The car is a step forward," he said.

"It was the first proper day and it was good to get some laps and a first feel for the car.

"The first impression was very positive.

"It's better to be first in one month's time. It's better than being last but it's not really important.

"We're fairly happy with the car, the way it felt.

"Ideally, we'd like to do some more but naturally when everything is new, you have issues you look into and you take a little bit more caution.

"You stop, you have a look and these things take time."
