"Helmut Marko, Red Bull's motorsport adviser, told the four-time champion after April's Chinese Grand Prix to adapt his driving and stop complaining about the car and new rules."

"I told him: 'There are 50 engineers working on this engine and they can't sort it out,' said Marko.
"'You're a top driver, it's up to you. You have to do it.'"
The 71-year-old Austrian, a former racing driver, added: "If he can't sort out the car, the easiest thing is the driver. He has to raise his game."

Really? It's Vettel's job to get 80hp from the engines? Does this guy even watch the races?
Nico was down 160hp... 160HP!!! Think about that. And nursing his rear brakes, he was still leading the grand prix for a long, long time.
That, above, is totally beyond reality. Vettel can maybe with his teammate, but he can't be expected to win against healthy Mercs.

But if they have the same car, you cant say the car is coming around.
Just Vettle is.
Daniel races the same car.
Right?
ORR do you mean they are building/changing the car to fit Vettle better cuz he is not as fast?

This purely reliability that I'm talking about.
Vettel already changed his driving since before Monaco to adapt to the car better, so I think we are seeing the combo of the two. He's getting faster in the car, and the car is finishing races and staying healthy on qualifying days.
