Vettel: RB7 should be good in Valencia

Sebastian Vettel admits qualifying will be vital this weekend as there are few overtaking places at the "tricky" Valencia circuit.

Vettel has been the dominant force this season, taking five victories from seven grands prix.

As a result, he heads into the European GP leading the Drivers' Championship by 60 points over Jenson Button, who he lost out to last time out in Canada.

However, Vettel is confident he can return to winning ways this weekend especially as qualifying is vital at the Valencia street circuit and he's only failed to grab pole position once this season.

"The atmosphere around the harbour in Valencia is quite similar to Monaco, except that the paddock is bigger and the garages are larger," said the German.

"The circuit is a street circuit, but the average speed (200kph) is extremely high, so it's tricky.

"In general you need a lot of wing for the corners and less for the relatively long straights, which means you have to find a compromise.

"There are no run-off zones, so you can't make any mistakes - a small slide and you end up in the wall...

"Overtaking is difficult and the only real possibility is in Turn 12.

"We had a good race there last year and the car should be good. I'm looking forward to it."
