Sebastian Vettel has rued the strategy error which cost Ferrari a likely victory at the season-opening Australian GP. After overtaking both Mercedes cars off the line at Albert Park to lead the race in a one-two formation, the Scuderias afternoon spectacularly unravelled as Nico Rosberg claimed victory for Mercedes ahead of team-mate Lewis Hamilton.While the luckless Kimi Raikkonen was forced to retire when his engine caught fire, Vettels bid for victory was scuppered by the teams decision to run him on supersoft tyres when the race restarted following a stoppage for Fernando Alonsos crash. We went for the aggressive route, maybe in hindsight we could have done something else, but Im not going to blame anyone, said Vettel after finishing third. Kimi Raikkonen had to retire his Ferrari on lap 23 of the Australian GP, after suffering a fire in his airbox Mercedes opted to run both Rosberg and Hamilton after the restart to the finish on a set of medium tyres with the German inheriting the lead when Ferrari belatedly pitted Vettel for a set of softs.I just dont think they thought that Mercedes would go all the way to the finish, observed Sky F1 pundit Damon Hill. Going to the supersofts was just a little bit too aggressive. They were pretty competitive but the supersofts just doesnt give you enough laps. Australian GP report Nico Rosberg claims victory in Melbourne Vettel added: The red flag didnt help us but we still had our chance. We didnt expect what both of them did by going onto the hardest tyre. We tried to be aggressive but it didnt work.Team boss Maurizio Arrivabene denied Ferraris strategy threw away their chance of a season-opening victory.If you look at the race, its in front of everybody, we were showing up very good pace, we were quite comfortable and after the red flag we took a decision, he said. A decision can be right or wrong, but no [we didnt lose the race ourselves].The Italian defended Ferraris aggressive choice and, although they did not win, believes they have shown they can compete with Mercedes. At that stage of the race we have to be a bit more aggressive, we could be right or we could be wrong, Arrivabene added. Sebastian was also talking about that, but in the end we were pushing like hell and Sebastian had a chance to be able to overtake Hamilton.If you want to look at the glass not half empty, we were there - this is the news. After that you cannot be happy [Ferrari didnt win], but this is racing.Australian GP driver ratingsVettel has also taken encouragement from Ferraris pace at the 2016 curtain-raiser with the SF16-H looking a match for Mercedes W07.The team seems in good shape, we know we can up our game, and we want to put pressure on these [Mercedes] guys.This is the right car that should allow us to put a lot of pressure on these guys.Dont miss the F1 Report for all the reaction and analysis from the Australian GP.
