German driver Sebastian Vettel has declared himself pleased with his debut season in Ferrari as the Formula One campaign comes to a close with Sunday's Abu Dhabi Grand Prix.
"The season has exceeded our expectations. We had a fantastic year - just phenomenal," Vettel said on Thursday at a media conference.
Vettel, a four-time world champion with Red Bull, is guaranteed to finish third in the standings behind Mercedes pair Lewis Hamilton and Nico Rosberg.

The 28-year-old has been on the podium 13 times this season, winning three races for Ferrari - a marked improvement for the Italian garage after a disastrous 2014 with no victories.
"We want to finish the season on a high note," Vettel added.
