Head To Head Sebastian Vettel vs Daniel Ricciardo

[Quintessentially]

Ted said during quali that the problem was intermittent and RB reset it in Q3 so it was fine.

 

[RasputinLives]

No. He said they were going to try and reset it and see if it fixed it. I would suggest that as Vettel us quoted as saying he had the problem in Q2 and Q3 it didn't.

 

[Quintessentially]

I'm not going to argue over the minor details. It was cleared in Q3 with reportedly slightly less power. His laptime was very consistent and a tenth or two shy of Ricciardo's who has once again generally looked faster than him all weekend.

 

[RasputinLives]

No. I don't want to argue over details either but I'm still going with what Seb and Red Bull say.

 

[Quintessentially]

"As far as I'm concerned qualifying was good, in terms of the car balance," said the reigning Formula 1 world champion.

"We got more or less everything out of the car, but unfortunately halfway through Q1 we had a problem with the ERS"

"Towards the end we were able too run a little bit below the maximum, which gave us a more consistent discharge, but still not full power."

Vettel was unsure how much time the issue cost him, but conceded it was "not enough for pole".

Has there been a GP where Seb didn't got tech. issues?

 

[RasputinLives]

So he didn't have full power then? Which is what The Pits was pointing out.

(Nice edits by the way. Write #143 if you agree you've gone back and changed your last post and whole argument in order to not look so silly)

 

[Quintessentially]

I'm glad we got there in the end (#143)

Was that not the same with Webber who always seems to get a gearbox or a KERs failure

oh well tough luck

 

[teabagyokel]

Webber nearly won a Championship because of Vettel's tech issues in 2010. He just wasn't good enough to capitalise.

 

[Il_leone]

teabagyokel I agree but since then it is Webber who seems to have the mechanical gremlins at Red Bull and Vettel has a smooth weekend

So anyone who says Seb is not doing well because of mechanical issues - its tough luck really

 

[RasputinLives]

Doesn't look like they fixed it.

Well when it happened to Webber it wasn't tough luck for most people, but Vettel being the favorite in the team.

 

[The Pits]

Well, Ricciardo has again proven to be better than Vettel, he finished well ahead of him in this race, and completed loads more laps. Seb was last when he pulled off today.

Phew, that's all put to bed now, thank goodness!!

Don't be really silly! Seb obviously has the worst car and, also, caught in the 'old formula'!

 

[Titch]

Ricciardo is such a cheerful guy. It's nice to see.

 

[Quintessentially]

Maybe Danny is not a car breaker like Seb? We've heard this elsewhere..

 

[Il_leone]

Seb's rant did not help either

 

[Il_leone]

Does anyone think Vettel might consider moving to Ferrari or Mercedes if his Red Bull keeps breaking down

That depends on which can build an exceptional car, surely?
