Sebastian Vettel says Ferrari can take comfort from the example set by Red Bull and Mercedes in recent years as it looks to return to competitiveness in 2017.Vettel and Ferrari have failed to build on the Germans three wins from the 2015 campaign, failing to claim a single victory in a year which was supposed to be a title challenge. Vettel, who believes Ferrari have raised the bar again this year despite disappointment on track, believes the team is laying the foundations for future success.Explaining his optimism, Vettel said: Once you put something strong in place... Ive been part of that process before with Red Bull where it took time and the day that they really started to be serious was probably back in 2005, the day they won races was 2009 so it took some time for them, it took some time for Mercedes.I think it always takes time if you try to raise the bar again and come back to the front. It does take time for people to really work hand in hand and things come together, but once they do it usually clicks and it works and thats when the results come as well.The four-time world champion says his faith in Ferrari comes from seeing the way the team operates on a day-to-day basis, especially when looking at developing next years cars under the 2017 rule changes.The results havent been there for a while so obviously theres something that needs to be improved and I think we are working on that. I dont want to share too much of that because its not my job or responsibility to explain. Its other people inside the team that you can ask, they are better to explain probably.?Just imagine you have a lot of people, you always hear that the cars are getting more complex, everything needs to run hand in hand. Its not like 20 or 30 years ago where you build the cars, you have an engine, you have a chassis and you had a bit of aerodynamics, just before winter testing you put everything together and you see how it works.Everything works hand in hand, the people need to work hand in hand, you need to be ready to go forward and change your view of whats right and whats wrong because you always try to raise the bar, re-define what you can do and try to find a better, smarter, lighter, more efficient way of doing things and I think in that regard I think weve grown a lot, its a process that I think takes time, it doesnt happen overnight.Vettels relationship with Ferrari boss Maurizio Arrivabene came under scrutiny earlier this month, though both men played down rumours of a rift. Vettel says Arrivabene is one of the reasons he has faith in Ferraris long-term prospects.Co-ordinating 1,300 people is not very easy, but I think the people we have in charge, particularly Maurizio, is doing a very good job. Things are coming along and looking promising for the future but for sure its up to us to show that. You can say how can it be that its improving, but we dont see that. You always get measured after the results you have.Ryan Brasier Jersey Red Sox . - Levi Browns tenure at left tackle for the Pittsburgh Steelers is over before it even began.
