Sebastian Vettel has vowed to keep attacking in 2010, despite the wave of criticism about his rate of errors in recent races.<\/p>\n
The 23-year-old German’s most recent gaffe was his crash into fellow championship challenger Jenson Button at Spa, earning McLaren’s rebuke that he has become F1’s “crash kid”.<\/p>\n
But Vettel told German language Speedweek that he is not now going to drive more cautiously as a result.<\/p>\n
“Racing is not a coffee break,” said the Red Bull driver.<\/p>\n
“I go to the grid to win if it is possible.\u00a0 But you have to attack, you can’t just wait for it to happen.”<\/p>\n
Vettel admits his Spa-Francorchamps manoeuvre on Button went badly wrong, and phoned his British rival to apologise.<\/p>\n
But he will be racing with an unchanged attitude this weekend at Monza.<\/p>\n
“I always try to attack, so in that way nothing is going to change.\u00a0 You always have your head switched on and everyone weighs up the risks.<\/p>\n
“I know that both myself and my car are fast enough to win,” added the German.<\/p>\n
