IMO the sad days have been past seassons, when F1 was using 6 years old engines 8O A competition wich stands as the motorsport pinnacle can´t use 6 years old engines, that´s a lot more sad than the number of cylinders IMHO, and I didn´t read people complaining these past seassons about the motorspor...

The main difference is that Schumacher had the guts to accept a challenge and go to Ferrari. Alonso didn't and passed the opportunity to go to RedBull. Like someone said, people have short memories.... Schumy joined Ferrari in 1996, and the WCC in 95 was this: 1 Benetton-Renault 137 2 Williams-Rena...

Andres... Let's be fair and reasonable about this.... Ferrari was in MUCH better shape when Alonso joined them than they were when Schumi joined. Even if all other facets of the team were the same, Alonso's Ferrari team had won 6 of the previous 11 WDCs and 7 of the 11 WCCs. Schumi's Ferrari team h...

I am yet to see a WDC were the team weren't a major part of their victory? True Undoubtedly Vettel has had the opportunities, but only an idiot would dismiss his achievements as he has maximised that opportunity. Also true. The problem is this thread goes about if Vettel is one of the greats, not a...

Rules say Vergne should have let him space But the situation says Vergne couldn´t see him because he was looking to his right (right corner) and Alonso was at his rear left So it´s a race incident, plain simple But.... if you want to blame someone, or you want to talk about who was the responsible,...

So you´re saying Vergne couldn´t have released the throttle a little bit because he´d have lost car control..... OMG.... 8O You don´t believe me when I say I´ve raced, or it´s simply that you always have to discuss with me Laura? One thing is the middle of the corner when you´re keeping the momentum...

The pass was outside the track and therefore illegal - Case Closed. You should inform yourself a little better about when a car has won the position and the one in front have to let him some space. Isn't the driver exiting the pit responsible for rejoining the track in a safe fashion? The pass was ...

Andres125sx

Pit-exit line was far away, back, so pit-exit rules do not apply. Once they pass the line, it´s a normal race situation where anyone who put his front wing at the level of the rear wheels of another car, has earned the position. I don´t think it´s that difficult.... if you don´t want to continue loo...

I don't think many, if any, are saying that Vettel isn't "any good". Most are acknowledging that he is one of the best drivers of this generation. If there is fault in members not giving Vettel his fair due, I think there is also fault that some seem to be insisting that everybody proclaim Vettel a...

And you´re missing the point, many people do not consider Mansell a great because he won his only WDC with a car wich was miles away from the rest, there the analogy with Vettel who´s doing the same What exactly are you trying to prove by taking random WDC-winning drivers from the past and comparin...

Welcome to F1 Have you ever heard about Nigel Mansell? If yes, then I´m sure you´ve heard sometime he drove one of the fastest cars ever, and he´s considered one of the greats because he had previously won lots of races with a different team , but even so a lot of people still say he only won his W...

I prefer to just look at the facts. Vettel has not won a single race or championship without Newey, and not a single championship without a dominant car. In 2012, McLaren won 7 races to Reb Bull's 7. McLaren lost further races due to reliability problems - more than RBR in fact so it suggests that ...

To be honest, if they stay on the track they have no real need to be troubling those curbs. It all stems from drivers not respecting the limits of the track really. When a driver is laid up in hospital with spinal injuries and contemplating his career, perhaps a specialist will think to look up fro...

I prefer to just look at the facts. Vettel has not won a single race or championship without Newey, and not a single championship without a dominant car. There are 5 other drivers who have only won with Newey. Vettel is part of that club. The question now is can be win without Newey? A guy called J...

2008 in Monza with Toro Rosso. He won without a Newey car. Newey was at Redbull back then. Actually torro rosso were using the same chassis as the redbull that season. Amazing fact hey? An entire career driving for the greatest designer in the history of the sport just imagine that. And he is appar...

Who rattled your cage? Mark is a valuable member of RedBull and contributes a lot to the aerodynamic setup of the car, whereas Vettel focuses more on the mechanical setup. He ripped in a lap on Saturday and proved he has the talent. Overall he's just not on top of all the variables like Vettel is a...

What do you think Lewis can do to get back on form and become less emotionally vulnerable Doing a collect to pay Newey retirement :] He just had a too good start in F1 fighting for the WDC on his first year and winning on his second. After that being condemned to be out of the podium almost constan...

Don't like it, don't watch it. I´m afraid that´s what may happen soon... Good sport F1 where fans move away because they´re getting bored :?

Crappy clutch bite point info. and failing KERS. Par for thehis rac course. He had a better initial launch then Vettel this race, from Vettelon board he tried to steer left to block Vettel but Vettel had better accelaration. I also noticed that, and it´s curious.... How could Vettel have better acc...

Andres125sx

Lauda, Stewart, Massa, Prost, Hamilton, etc., all seem to have analyzed that Vettel's success is down to more than the car. It would appear that those who continue to claim it's all about the car are the ones who lack expertise and insight. Or do you think we should seriously consider that a random...

I´ve said it previously, they have the best car, they have the best strategists, they have the best driver, they have the faster response time when his car have some problem, they have the fastest people for the pit-stops.... it´s not only the car, but the whole package. I took the liberty of editi...

Andres125sx

If at least Red Bull would be fighting for the WDC with both drivers, then there would be some excitement, but when you know it´s going to be Vettel first and Webber second if his car doesn´t break... HRC has been even more dominant in MotoGP some seasons, but their drivers were fighting each others...

Andres those 4 WDC must be hurting a lot no? :-P More or less the same as for anyone who´s not a Vettel fan ;) But believe it or not, no, I uderstand at this sport the team have more importance than the driver, and I really admire Red Bull. I´ve said it previously, they have the best car, they have...

Sure, everybody have more than 3 tittles, that´s nuts. That´s what you´re saying?

Or maybe it´s because eveybody have bought a team and win both the WDC and WCC at first try, that´s too easy to deserve any merit, right?

Andres125sx

IMO this is to be studied.... We all have heard Red Bull providing TOs (ignoring multi-21, maintain the gap, not bad for a #2...), but people still say things like "they will be free to race like always"... Some people is still in denial about the obvious, every F1 team provide TOs, curious Luckily ...

The Red Bull team look devastated. And people wonder why they are hated so much LOL Yes, that´s enlightening, when a team look devasted when they have a 1-2 result you can take some conclusions.... like McLaren in 2007, exactly the same, but some people still insist they didn´t prefer Hamilton winn...

Red Bull announcing Webber´s clutch have a problem in 3.... 2..... 1......

Oh wait!, Vettel already won the WDC!

That´s what I was reffering to, in 11 and 13 he had it too easy, and as I tried to illustrate with Button´s example in 09, driving to perfection with a car much better than the rest is easy for any F1 driver.

2010, best car, several mistakes. Actually only a smart move from his wall in the last race (when his team mate was in better position than him) made him win that championship 2012, very good driving, yes.

No, Vettel doesn´t deserve to be considered one of the greats because with his car it´s easy to drive to perfection ;) Let´s me explain it with an example.
