Sebastian Vettel was left encouraged by Ferrari’s showing throug🥀hout Friday practice for Formula 1’s German Grand Prix.

Vettel topped opening practice ahead o🥃f teammate Charles Leclerc in Hockenhei𒅌m, before the roles were reversed in the afternoon as the Monegasque driver headed another Scuderia 1-2 ahead of chief rival Mercedes.

"I'm pretty 🃏happy," Vettel said. "I think it was a better day🐈, a few hiccups here and there to find the rhythm.

"We lost a bit of time as I had a f♒latspot on the medium tyres in the afternoon but all in all it felt good, the car felt good. I think there’s qu𒅌ite a bit of margin to go faster.

"It was a good day and I think we are quite happy. There is mar🔴gin to go ൩faster and it’s good to know where it is.

"We’ll see how the conditions are, I think that’s the main thing. We tried to do the job today and do our homework and carry that into tomorrow but it will be ♉different.

"The car is pretty much the same. I guess it’s more conditions and the track and how we go▨ along, so let’s 🅺hope we can keep it that way."

The drivers and teams faced the highest temperatures seen so🦩 far this season in Germany, with Mercedes pair Lewis Hamilton and Valtteri Bottas left hoping for cooler conditions and rain amid the German squad's ongoing cooling issues. 

"It’s hard to say because I don’t know how much Mercedes and Red Bull had to compromise for the heat," Vettel replied when asked about how cooler conditions could affect the pecking or🐻der. 

"I think it impacts on everyone, you saw that everybody was openin👍g the cooling to the maximum. So I think it would hav🐲e been nice to have a really, really hot race.

"It’s also fun inside the car and I quite like it when you break into a sweat. I don’t know but I think the💟 forecast says it won’t be like today."
