Defending world drivers' champion Sebastian Vettel has vowed to heed the lessons of his and his Red Bull team's first defeat of the season in Sunday's Chinese Grand Prix.
The 23-year-old German, beaten into second place by an excellent attacking drive from Briton Lewis Hamilton, the 2008 champion, in a McLaren, said it was clear that his two-stop strategy for the race was the wrong one.
Vettel said: "It wasn't a trouble-free race for us, we had problems, but we also made our own mistakes and Lewis deserved to win.
"We probably tried too hard staying on two stops. The middle stint should have been longer, but then I found myself on the hard tyre ufffd and I saw Lewis coming closer and closer.
"We have to keep our feet on the ground.
"We have had three races, two victories and one second place so it is not so bad, but we have to learn and improve all the time."
