CRI听力:Sebastian Vettel Maintains Momentum in Day-2 of Pre-season Testing at Jerez 

In Formula One,

Four-time world champ Sebastian Vettel has been keeping his momentum in day two of pre-season testing in Spain.

Vettel, who moved to Ferrari from Red Bull at the end of last year, finished 89 laps before rain cut his practice short at the circuit in Jerez.

Despite the weather, Vettel was almost a second faster than the rest of the pack.

Last year's champ, Lewis Hamilton, wasn't so lucky.

Trouble with his vehicle kept his test runs to a minimum on Monday.

"It's the first days of testing so none of the corners feel good the first time you drive the car, it never does. The car's at the worst it will be this year and the balance wasn't perfect because we weren't working on the setup. So of course it could be better but there's lots of positives, we got good mileage particularly yesterday and we should do tomorrow."

A total of 8-teams are taking part in the practice testing in Spain.

The new season will officially kick off on March 15th in Melbourne, Australia.
