Sebastian Vettel has insisted that he can win the 2015 Formula 1 world title, despite finishing behind Nico Rosberg and Lewis Hamilton at the Spanish Grand Prix.
The German managed to overtake Hamilton at the start of the race in Barcelona and kept the Briton behind him until the second round of pit stops before settling for third place.
However, despite trailing Hamilton by 31 points, Vettel is refusing to give up on winning a fifth world crown in 2015.
He told reporters: "I think we have done a step forward as a team. It doesn't really show here but I am quite confident we will be stepping up our game again in the next couple of races and I look forward to that.
"If you take the average of the first five races you have the reality. Some tracks you are better than others. For some reason, we were not that competitive here even though we have improved the car.
"I am not happy with the result in terms of the gap to the front but we can be happy with the points."
Vettel's Ferrari teammate Kimi Raikkonen finished fifth, behind the Williams of Valtteri Bottas.
