With rain forecast for Sunday’s Monaco GP, Sebastian Vettel has urged his Aston Martin team to “stay alert” and “make the right decisions”.

“Whatever happens, we will target good points.”
His compatriot Ralf Schumacher is backing the 34-year-old to have a good race.
“Sebastian feels at home here,” said the Sky pundit. “He can make the difference on the street circuits. He likes to do that and he did a great job here.
“It still shows that everything is there as soon as he has the car. And…
