Abu Dhabi, Nov 27 (IANS) Ferrari driver Sebastian Vettel, finishing second in the Formula One World Championship 2017, said his constructor had a good run despite failing to take the top spot in the recently concluded season.

Ferrari finished second in the constructor standings with 522 points below Mercedes-AMG (668) who topped the chart.

“I don’t think it’s a shame to come second in the fashion we did,” the 30-year-old told Sky Sports on Sunday.

“We had very strong races, we won races, races that we shouldn’t have won, but here and there we missed some chances,

“Overall we had a very good run. I don’t think there was an awful lot more to grab. Certainly we had two or three races that were very costly but I think overall it’s been a strong performance,” Vettel added.

Vettel has won the Formula One World Championship four times — 2010, 2011, 2012 and 2013.

Sunil Gavaskar gives his opinion of GT allrounder Rahul Tewatia

The left-handed batsman from Haryana is garnering praise from all quarters for the way he’s finishing games regularly in the most exciting IPL season.

Gavaskar reckons Tewatia’s whirlwind knock in Sharjah (in IPL 2020) where he smashed West Indies pacer Sheldon Cottrell for five sixes in an over, gave him the confidence that he belongs to the big stage.

Speaking on Cricket Live on Star Sports, Gavaskar said, “That assault on Sheldon Cottrell in Sharjah gave him the belief to do the impossible and the confidence that he belongs here. We saw the impossible (he did with the bat) the other day as well. There’s no twitching or touching the pads (which shows a batter’s nervousness) when he bats in the death overs. He just waits for the ball to be delivered and plays his shots. He’s got all the shots in the book, but most importantly his temperament to stay cool in a crisis is brilliant.”

Gavaskar has also nicknamed the 28-year-old cricketer the ‘ice-man’ and lauded Tewatia’s ability to remain unruffled during the tense moments.
