Ferrari driver Sebastian Vettel, finishing second in the Formula One World Championship 2017, said his constructor had a good run despite failing to take the top spot in the recently concluded season.

Ferrari finished second in the constructor standings with 522 points below Mercedes-AMG (668) who topped the chart.

"I don't think it's a shame to come second in the fashion we did," the 30-year-old told Sky Sports on Sunday.

"We had very strong races, we won races, races that we shouldn't have won, but here and there we missed some chances,

"Overall we had a very good run. I don't think there was an awful lot more to grab. Certainly we had two or three races that were very costly but I think overall it's been a strong performance," Vettel added.

Vettel has won the Formula One World Championship four times -- 2010, 2011, 2012 and 2013.
