I wonder to these people if there's any possible case where Vettel isn't one to blame. http://adamcooperf1.com/2014/03/29/rosberg-v-vettel-it-was-either-me-or-him/ At the end of Q3 Rosberg pulled off a cheeky move when he passed Sebastian Vettel as he prepared to start his final lap. “It was either...

So Rosberg to be investigated for impeding? Or Vettel trying to be too clever and getting stuffed by his own trick thinking he could mess up Rosberg? Who would have thought of that? There are rumors that since that didnt work out, later Vettel took a gherkin by Rosberg`s hotel room door, hoping tha...

The figures assumed by ETM3 above and the fifth place mentioned by Horner could well be accurate: Ricciardo would have been 0.4 secs/lap slower to have finished in fifth place. A surprisingly big difference due to fuel flow. I haven't followed any post race Horner interviews closely, so I may have ...

And Vettel didn't destroyed his. It just failed which by certain people's logic means Red Bull actually sabotaged Vettel and they were doing it many many times in 2010. :x Not in modern era, but this anecdote is the only thing that comes to my mind. http://www.telegraph.co.uk/sport/motorsport/formul...

On topic, bear in mind Autosport did the ratings race by race without much help of hindsight information or putting the drivers' and cars' season performance in perspective. A little bias would be inevitable. And there were a few very odd scores. Again, as educated as the reporter may be, distinguis...

While it's true that Pirelli tyre characteristics suit Vettel's strength than Webber's inherently, according to Newey and Horner Vettel also has very sensitive feel for tyres.

I don't think they can vote for their own drivers though, that's why I picked Williams. Oh, I didn't disagree with you.

I respect the bias of team bosses. So, it seems RoGro, Hulk and Button are underrated, with the same overrated ones. The difference between 117-95 -24 speaks of too much brake bias. We have to remember this is a sum of 11 lists. At least for Hamilton-Rosberg, they are 22 points apart which seems qu...

Wow! What a year it's been for him! Congrats! I'm sure he'll make a good father.

German media now report she's in the ninth month and he will become a father before the first winter test. How did they manage to keep this from media so long? Impressive.

Actually thats a very good point... If Newey is that super duper designer .. and has that much clout on RBR Why isnt he pushing for the real great drivers like Hamilton / Alonso and now even Kimi???

I've read he's been overtaken on track 4 times so far. Then those would be in China twice by Alonso and once by Hulkenberg which TV didn't pick up, in Spain once by Raikkonen.

You do realize that Webber drives pretty much a different car to Vettel right? I am 100% sure that the different line made no difference, Vettel would have overtaken him anyway. They start with less fuel than the Mercedes, that is why they are so much faster than everyone else, and Vettel can open ...

Not true. Hamilton rates Vettel. He's said it in an interview although retrospectively. They race together in F3 in Hamilton's second year when he dominated with 15 wins and Vettel had one podium and finished 9th in a year when Sutil and DiResta also had a win each. From that Lewis could not have r...

I just wanted to answer this bit. Hope you don't mind me cropping your post.

By puppet I mean Horner doesn't run the team like say Ron Dennis.

No . Alonso was greatly helped by the open door .
