Re: Seb Vettel...Changing my mind...

Re: Why hate on Vettel?

Yes - but I wonder why Mark dislikes Seb so much? There is likely to be a reason. The favouritism in public is obvious so it begs the question, what is it like behind the scenes? Webber's comments on the podium in Malaysia suggest Vettel is very much protected against criticism within the team, so ...
