Head To Head Sebastian Vettel vs Daniel Ricciardo

[teabagyokel]

Don't think Vettel has been particularly primadonnaish this season.

 

[ExtremeNinja]

I can only think of Kamui and Fernando. Otherwise, I think he has carried himself very well, considering. He's been quite magnanimous and has been putting a brave face on. Others would not handle such a fall from grace with such aplomb.

What about Prost or Villeneuve in comparing Vettel in their fall from grace

 

[RasputinLives]

I think comparing Seb with JV may be a tad on the early side.

As for Prost - wasn't he always in the running every season he raced in other than 1991? 91 was pretty much down to a god dam awful Ferrari. Not really sure what you mean.

RasputinLives strange things have happened in F1 - see also Scheckter and Hunt

 

[RasputinLives]

How is that explaing what you meant about Prost?

 

[teabagyokel]

Prost did win the title in his last season in F1; despite everything not a massive decline.

 

[Il_leone]

How is that explaing what you meant about Prost?

If you consider how Prost was suppose to be No 1 at Ferrari and he got fed up with the politics and ended up getting fired ...part of that was because he was simply destroyed by Senna and driven out of Mclaren

Not sure if Vettel will go that way but if Ricciardo suddenly becomes the golden boy of Red Bull who knows

 

[RasputinLives]

But Prost beat Senna in 89 right?

 

[ExtremeNinja]

Another notch for the young Aussie.

 

[Il_leone]

But Prost beat Senna in 89 right?

Prost called it his worst season in F1 especially the tension that lead up to Suzuka and his own team trying to appeal on Senna. 1990 and 1991 Senna simply did everything better than Prost in their separate teams

Now I see Vettel got outqualified again in front of his home crowd oh dear that was not in the script and they've already moved to another German hero

 

[teabagyokel]

Prost called it his worst season in F1.

I was unaware that comment overturned the points classification at the conclusion of the season.

NO but the fact that Prost felt Senna had pushed so much over the edge it questioned his resolve and whether he was going to put his life on the line such was the ferocity and intensity of Senna.

I know Ricciardo is the smiling assassin but there comes a point when it will get real serious between him and Vettel... then we will see if Christian Horner disappears under his turtle shell again

 

[teabagyokel]

Should scribe that on the trophy instead of "Alain Prost".

 

[RasputinLives]

Danny pulled it out of the bag right at the end there when it looked like Seb had the legs on him. Good stuff.

 

[FB]

Chalk a race win up to finger boy. Danny on the end of some bad luck this time but his fight with Alonso was brilliant. He was right back behind the Ferrari at the end, I thought he might just sneak past him in the last couple of corners.

 

[Il_leone]

What superlatives can we say about Daniel and compare that to Seb who started in front of him and spun out of contention

- Seb must be the most unhappiest in Red Bull camp right now

 

[Jen]

Possibly after Christian Horner?

 

[Il_leone]

Possibly after Christian Horner?

nope even more unhappy than Christian

Vettel is great at 360s. Riciardo is great at racing. What an amazing win. Danny is just sublime.
