Poll Sebastian Vettel's ever increasing circles

[Speshal]

I agree with all of the above.

there is no problem with team mates, that's controlled by the pit wall instructions

Driver who achieved naff all in F1 criticises 4 times World Champion - AMATEUR: Former driver blasts Vettel for acting like a rookie at Bahrain

 

[Publius Cornelius Scipio]

Well, not to underrate what Schumacher did, but what he really did was just drag the entire brain-trust of Bennetton with him (except for Briatore). This is not rocket science.

...

Actually, I see Hamilton is growing and getting better at this. He clearly now always addresses the crowd, the fans, etc.

Re Schumacher the people who worked with him all say that his input was much stronger than that. In a sense Schumacher was a driver that a team could rely on. Also apparently he was very sharp menthally and knew exactly what he wanted in terms of the car etc.

Regarding Hamilton I don't think that he is growing, I just think that he knows that his team mate is not that good and that all the team is behind him. I fear that if he had a top driver as a team mate he would should his usual weaknesses (no driver is perfect, he's super fast and he must have some weaknesses after all he's human)

 

[Ruslan]

I agree with all of the above.

Thanks for that reminder. He (Vettel) just drove right into him. Pretty appalling, and the team supported him.

Well, I guess we will have to see how Hamilton does when the promote Ocon to that seat. Bottas is not competition.

 

[RasputinLives]

I still think Ocon will be forgotten by the time the driver merry go round is finished and Russell will get the seat. I hope not because I'm an Ocon fan so I hope not but you see it so many times happen to drivers not sitting in a race seat.

Did you by chance happen to see the 2016 Spanish GP?

Yes....and?

another problem with vettel why everytime he is getting beaten by his teammate is again claiming the car doesnt suit him, we had it in 2018, when the cars development had suited kimi more than him then these 2

Sebastian Vettel: 2014 Red Bull F1 car just doesn't suit me

Chinese GP: Sebastian Vettel says he's still 'not happy' in Ferrari SF90

 

[Il_leone]

F1Brits_90 Yet he is the one that Ferrari have kept

 

[F1Brits_90]

but that was kimi age why would dump a guy a decade younger

 

[Ruslan]

Several locked tires from Vettel today. He is struggling a bit for some reason.

Leclerc had the same problem, locking his front left under braking at the hairpin, to me that car doesn't look that sorted

 

[Il_leone]

Well Vettel rebuffed suggestions that he should retire at the end of the season

 

[Titch]

It’s very early in the season, I don’t suppose Vettel has decided anything about his future, other than how to manage the next race.

 

[Il_leone]

no but someone put towards him that with LeClerc on his pace and Hamilton seemingly having the edge over him in duels and currently that maybe he should consider hanging up his helmet if he is get soundly beat

 

[vintly]

Vettel's a racer, he's not going to quit just because it's not going his way. Even if he has a ridiculous anti-fan-inspired negative-epiphany that says his best years are behind him, that he'll never win another championship, that Leclerc is ultimately his superior – he'd probably still want to carry on racing the dream cars of his youth. Retire? Nonsense.

I think that that someone should ask Hamilton why Mercedes doesn't hire another top-tier driver to replace mid-mid-tier Bottas. What is Hamilton afraid of?

 

[gethinceri]

He's only been afraid of one driver.

 

[F1Brits_90]

vettel cant retire yet & this will sound ridiculous because if he doesnt get a 5th then the other 4 are mean less. because it was such dominance & the car was so far ahead of anything. he needs to win a 5th title in "equal" car. otherwise he will always be dogged with tag that they were neweys titles because since the 4 titles he constantly gets beaten by his rivals
