Formula One World Champion Sebastian Vettel has finished testing in Spain and is now getting ready for his first race in Australia - but first he's got to get to grips with the jetlag...

"We've finished final testing in Spain and we're in the middle of the preparations for Australia. It's always tough dealing with jetlag when you have to travel so far, so I've already started changing my sleeping habits to deal with it: That means lots of early bed times.

"It's still very hard to say who's at the top right now."

"But I have a very good feeling about Australia. We've had an amazing winter and we've put more test laps in than ever before. That helped us a lot with the new car and helped us get to know it a lot better. What didn't change is the way I can rank the other teams. It's still very hard to say who's at the top right now.

"Without having run a real race, it's even harder to say where we are. Once the car has finished its first race we'll see how it performs under race conditions - after all, that's the most important thing to know. We also shouldn't forget that we're moving towards a really long season and that there are always things that can happen in F1 you haven't thought about in advance.

"For now we are happy with what we have achieved during the winter, but we are all excited to find out where this season will take us and what will happen in Australia.

"Talk to you soon from Melbourne!"

Sebastian
