Re: Vettel impersonates Jean Todt regarding the donuts !
Does anybody understand what exactly he's saying? Something like "it was good for something but not good for something else?" Vettel is indeed very good in imitating other people's voices

Old system was 10-8-6-5-4-3-2-1 not 10-8-6-4-2-1. I think Vettel still takes the WDC with the old system by the way.
