Re: The future of Sebastian Vettel
Vettel succumbs to the red mist once again. I suspect he was a little hot at being passed and made a decision to squeeze Chuck. Clearly a part of his head stops working when emotions start to do a job on him.
Because of this, he's gotta go. Much too childish to be piloting a rocket.
