Sebastian Vettel has never gone a full season without winning at least one race, and the German is hopeful of continuing that trend.
The closest Vettel has come to a race win in 2014 was at the Malaysian and Canadian Grands Prix where he finished third both times.
The upcoming Singapore and Japanese races offer Red Bull their best opportunity due to the nature of the tracks and Vettel is gunning for his first win of the season.
“Well I would prefer to win, we still have some races to go and I’m here to win,” he said. “I don’t like being beaten but this year I’ve been beaten many times, but that’s part of sport, part of life.”
His team-mate Daniel Ricciardo has won three races and currently sits 60 points ahead of a somewhat outclassed Vettel, but the season hasn’t been a complete failure according to the 27-year-old.
“There’s always something you can learn from winning, but you can always learn something from being beaten or losing.
“In that regard we’ve learned already a lot, it’s been a tough year already but the confidence is high and there’s confidence we will win again.”
