Vettel predicts tight Spanish GP

BARCELONA — Defending triple world champion Sebastian Vettel cut a relaxed figure on Thursday as he forecast a closely-fought, but largely predictable outcome in this weekend’s Spanish Grand Prix.

The 25-year-old Red Bull driver dismissed suggestions that the many packages of upgrades for cars brought to Spain by the teams would make any difference.
Instead, he said, it is likely to be that the spectators at the Circuit de Catalunya on Sunday will be treated to much of the same from the usual suspects.
