Re: Seb Vettel...Changing my mind...
For a few years now I have disliked Seb with an intensity bordering on madness. However, I must admit having been impressed with his whole demeanour since joining Ferrari. Dare I say it that I quite like the guy now.... He seems to have chilled out, become quite funny in interviews and has a real a...

Well, they're just as bad as each other to be honest. Mark was never a saint Mark was not a saint because of what happened between him and Seb.

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 ...
