Sebastian Vettel says Ferrari must not look for excuses to explain its lacklustre performance at the British Grand Prix.Vettel finished ninth at Silverstone after starting 11th due to a five-place grid penalty for a gearbox change. It was the second race in a row that Red Bull finished ahead of Ferrari, but Vettel said there is no point making excuses for Ferraris dip in form.We want to win, so I dont really care whats going on behind, he said. As long as they stay behind, I think it was arguably a strong weekend for them and not so strong for us. Its probably the only race this year where in terms of race pace we werent able to fight them and beat them. But Im pretty confident that things will look different again in two weeks.Thats not an excuse, we had a bad weekend and we need to make sure we address this and we take actions and move forward, understand why we struggled more than other people. Generally everyone is improving -- we are, other people are -- but I think this weekend was a step back for us in terms of competitivenesss, not necessarily a big step up for other people.ddddddddddddettel is hoping the Ferrari is better suited to the Hungaroring, which hosts next weekends Hungarian Grand Prix.Yeah I think its a completely different track, different conditions. Usually wherever Formula One goes the sun is shining but it seems that this year it hasnt really been very warm, which is nice when you drive - you dont sweat so much - but thats not why we go racing. I think we have to take into account that we might sweat and its actually a nice feeling when you have to work hard.I think its a completely different track but first of all theres a lot of things we need to learn from this weekend. We failed two gearboxes - one on Friday, one on Saturday - on my car. I think we recovered on qualifying but obviously lost out quite a lot of performance in todays race with the conditions we faced. So theres a lot of stuff to understand. ' ' '
