Sebastian Vettel was left feeling mixed emotions after an excellent performance in qualifying for the Japanese Grand Prix.
The German did very well to reach Q3 – something he and his Aston Martin team have been struggling to do this season. This result meant he preserved his perfect record of top 10 starts at Suzuka throughout his Formula 1 career.
He will start Sunday's race ninth on the grid and in a promising position to be able to score some points driving at his favourite F1 venue for the final time. Reacting to the qualifying result, he admitted it had left him feeling a twinge of regret about retiring from the sport.
