Sebastian Vettel says beating Red Bull to the third fastest time in Friday practice at the German Grand Prix offers little consolation if Mercedes are still over 0.5s faster.Vettel finished the second practice session third fastest, 0.25s faster than Max Verstappens Red Bull but 0.594s off Nico Rosbergs fastest time.Asked if he was pleased to be ahead of his old team, Vettel said: We are trying to be the fastest and we saw that Mercedes are very quick. In the end I am not looking too much, Im listening to our car, listening to where we are and trying to do our best and then we go from there. Very simple, we are here to win and thats what we try to do.At the time of the interview, Vettel still had to analyse how his long run stacks up but admitted there was work to be done regardless.Over one lap it was okay but my long run I havent seen much, obviously we spent most of the afternoon on the soft, which is the slower tyre. Overall it was okay but we still need to improve our package.Asked to comment on the lifting of the radio ban and the decision not to introduce Halo next year, Vettel added: The radio stuff makes it a lot easier for us in terms of remembering, so I think thats straight forward. For the Halo, I dont know because I havent read exactly what the reasoning was for the outcome, but I think it remains positive that from 2018 onwards it is going to be on the car.
