MELBOURNE, Australia — It doesn’t really bother Sebastian Vettel that he’ll be starting the Australian Grand Prix from the second row of the grid. Vettel has had more luck settling into rhythm on race day Down Under, and is aiming to equal two of Michael Schumacher’s records on Sunday. The four-time world champion is aiming for a third consecutive Australian GP title and fourth overall at Albert Park — both records held by the F1 great and fellow German. Vettel skidded off the track in Q2 but recovered quickly to finish third in qualifying, 0.704 seconds behind. “The gap is there today and was a surprise, but our focus is tomorrow and (we) don’t worry about the gap now,” Vettel said.
