Sebastian Vettel admitted his decision to go against Ferraris strategy at the German Grand Prix was a mistake and prevented him from finishing higher than fifth.In the closing stages at Hockenheim, Vettel asked to stay out when Ferrari called him in for his final pit stop, reasoning that his tyres still felt good. The team then told him it believed he could undercut Max Verstappens Red Bull in third but eventually told him to stay out after a long conversation over the radio.?As it turned out, staying out ended any chance Vettel had of getting in the mix with the cars ahead and meant he had to settle for a distant fifth position. In hindsight, Vettel said he should have trusted Ferraris pace on fresh tyres.I just had a look at that now and I think I did a mistake because we could have had a chance to put the cars in front under more pressure, Vettel said.We were talking about it a long time in the race, I dont know how much it was broadcasted or not. But we were obviously not so great at the end of the stints and struggling a bit with the tyres, and obviously I didnt want to make the last stint too long for that reason. Arguably I was too conservative.Vettel finished ahead of teammate Kimi Raikkonen in sixth, capping a disappointing weekend for Ferrari which saw it have to settle for the third row of the grid behind Mercedes and Red Bull. The German said the team never got on top of its problems from Saturday.Asked if some rain would have brought Ferrari closer after a light drizzle in the closing laps, he said: Well unfortunately we were a bit far from the cars in front, especially after the first two stints. For sure were trying to push on and trying to stay as close as possible, you never know, I think we had some drops at the end, unfortunately not enough.I think certainly not happy, racing at home is always something special and in that regard it wasnt a special race, but I think we like yesterday, struggled a little bit to get the balance right and the car was sliding a little bit too much which cost us life on the tyres and ultimately performance at the end of the stint, to sum it up we were not quick enough today.Los Angeles Lakers Gear .C. -- Al Jefferson joked that he feels he can score from anywhere on the court.
