Sebastian Vettel says hes pleased by the performance Ferrari has shown so far in Suzuka after qualifying fourth for the Japanese Grand Prix.Both Ferraris managed to lock out the second row and were less than 0.3s off upsetting Mercedes and Nico Rosberg for pole position.The German will drop three places tomorrow after picking up a penalty for his contact with Nico Rosberg in Malaysia last weekend, and says its even more frustrating now that hes seen the true pace of the car.Its been a track that people forecasted as being quite poor [for us], Vettel said. But, its been a very good day. The car felt good in qualifying, a lot better than last year.Its even more of a pleasure to put both cars ahead [of Red Bull]. Its a track where you obviously need a stronger car to go faster. The gap [to Mercedes] also is a lot smaller for us compared to previous events. I think the stuff we brought here seems to work.We have to live with the penalty, we cant change it. Well see what we can do in terms of strategy, how the start goes, how the first lap goes, and go from there.Vettel has also taken positives from Ferraris improved long-run pace and expects to be far more competitive than in recent races. Since a second place finish in Azerbaijan back in June, the four-time world champion has just one podium to his name and two retirements.We improved it since yesterday so I think tomorrow should be better as well and I think we can carry that momentum into the race. Nevertheless, it will be very close so we obviously have to nail our race from start to finish to keep our position and make progress. MLB Jerseys Outlet .
