Lovely move from Vettel, who wants F1 to be a cruising event?

AnRs

That was fun.

Vettel the ruthless racer and Lewis the #1 cruiser, this can be an interesting season.
Sorry that Alonso and Kimi couldn't be in the mix today..

AnRs

thank you Blake/ Morgana... I've been labelled a hater and whatever else and so much, that I didn't post till now on this subject.

Obviously Sutil, Kimi and Ferrari pace, Vettel keeping it together. Sorry for Hulkenberg and Rosberg, DNS and DNF not a optimal start. Mercedes falling back, unable to make a working strategy, Maldonado backtalking his car after spin, Di Resta believing he was robbed of a position, Perez way back, B...

Winners - Lotus and Kimi, made strategy work - Ferrari and Alonso, great start off the season - Red Bull and Vettel - Sutil - Bianchi - Bottas Losers - Grosjean, slow starter this year? - Maldonado, dominated by rookie teammate - Mercedes, reliability and Lewis fell back in race - Hulkenberg, sorry ...

“We saw Fernando Alonso going up against Lewis Hamilton at McLaren and while it did not work out, he followed his belief and it earned him the respect of the paddock.

What, Hamilton offered his services to Red Bull? How much did he offer for the drive? Hamilton tried to join RBR at least twice, he even went straight to Horner in his garage after one race when iirc there was some controversy with Jenson. Horner's response when asked about it was that Hamilton is ...

British driver that missed Red Bull:s peak writing in British media about the most successfull young driver ever (oh and he's german), what do you expect?

AnRs

Been a Hamilton fan since he entered the sport. But I don't really talk about it with friends now since everyone says he is immature and not a nice guy, but it's not about that imho, it is about if they have the speed and are decent on the track. To be honest Mclaren really messed up last year, I a...

Since noone but Schumacher have been able to do what Vettel and Red Bull have done in many years, probably not. But IMO you assume Newey unable to dominate without rule changes and for Vettel to stay at Red Bull, might not be the truth since Vettel have proved to be top class and Newey to produce ca...

Thats not the question though

No, but it's the answer

AnRs

Over the last three years Vettel is the best qualifier.

AnRs

I think what makes Vettel a standout qualifier is that if his car is capable of being on pole he will always put it on pole. He always delivers when under huge amounts of pressure. Sure he had some poor quali performances in 2012 but, in my eyes, that was not because he was lacking or the car was l...

I would put Vettel and Alonso in tier 1, Kimi, Button and Lewis in tier 2, Webber, Rosberg, Schumacher in tier 3 Vettel and Alonso was way ahead of everyone else in 2012. And the king of tier 2 is for me Kimi, to do such a comeback after 2 years of rallying and beating both McLarens, one red Bull i...

Just remember that testing in Barca is cool. A lot of the problems with the tyres were never seen during testing last year, it wasn't until they got to higher temps the teams started to have issues. AND that goes for all the teams. They have already issues, all teams We should hope the tyre usage g...

I read multiple times here that Jenson would never come anywhere near Lewis, well on his second season in McLaren he beat him. All this ranking a driver by one seasons is all wrong, look over a whole career. And yes by the way, Lewis is not "regards as the outright fastest man in F1" that's Sebastia...

AnRs

Every domination ends one time, I believe we will see a new WDC this year. The McLaren have caught the Red Bull alst year and will pass this I believe, so either Button or Perez.

AnRs

I think everyone wants to see Vettel in the same team as either Alonso, Hamilton or Raikonnen. That would be an epic season indeed It won't happen though, much like you would never see a true topliner matched against Schumacher during the dominant years at Ferrari It will happen, Webber won't drive...

He very well knows who he has to beat to get the title back and it sure isn't Lewis he is aiming for 2013. He acknowledged that in saying he won't be his 'main rival', but he was asked who he felt was the strongest driver . Well I belive most acknowledges Alonso himself as the strongest driver righ...

The fact that he has to say the statement is not political speaks for itself IMO. lol he can't win no matter what he says. If he had named Hamilton without making clear he wasn't being political, people would have followed the Marko line that he was being political with his choice. Instead, he make...

Off course he is, he knows that Sebastian is the man to beat next year also. Don't think it affects Vettel though.

M Nader asked how would JB and KR do against Vettel. Interesting one, because in some ways Jenson and Kimi are similar drivers, very sensitive to chassis balance and sometimes being too smooth to warm their tyres. I think Vettel would beat them both in same-cars. JB is not as fast as Lewis, and I d...

Why, because Vettel beat Lewis in a slower car? To turn down Sebastians achievement splitting the McLarens that day is not correct IMO.

This thread is only here because Vettel is the most successfull Young driver in history and the driver you like isn't

True.Just like renault in 05/06 with their mass dampers.Cheating b******s.

The only team punishe for cheating is McLaren in 2007 - 2008? The other have only read the regulations?

AnRs

Probably true considering what happened late 2012.
But the pressure is on McLaren, Ferrari and probably Mercedes to close the gap.

But every domination ends one season, but all parts for a RedBull 2013 WCC is still in place.

AnRs

To quote Sky

"To win a title takes great skill, to retain a world title puts a driver among the elite, but to win 3 titles in a row secures their place in history"

AnRs

He and Alonso dominated 2012, so as choice 2 is wrong I had to go woth no 1.
And he is the youngest off the top 4 so his curve is going up

AnRs

Vettel and Alonso dominated 2012, so off course Seb is a better choice than Lewis.

It's Sebastian Vettel, WDC and WCC 2010-2012. Anything else is pure opinions, F1 is a points game. To that I respond with the Villeneuve conundrum - both of them. Your line of thinking suggests that during 1996 and 1997 Jacques Villeneuve was the best driver on the grid, as he scored the most point...
