Vettel was complaining all the way through the race and couldn't find the sweet spot with his setup. When he did he banged in some very quick laps and pulled off some excellent overtakes, so clearly it was a setup / handling issue rather than him simply being slow. It's sad how some people are so s...

I was laughing all the race looking at how much faster Dan was, considering Vettel since the very first minute of FP1 focused solely on finding perfect race set-up, while Danny, as everyone one, had to find a compromise between quali and race pace. Yet it was like Vettel was driving Ferrari already...

What bugs me about this thread at times is that there's plenty of legitimate ammunition - facts, if you will - to use in criticizing Vettel's performance this season without resorting to hyperbole and exaggeration, but people still trot 'em out. Finishing 7th in the 3rd quickest car? It's only one ...

Hamilton. Close between him and Ricciardo but ultimately the deciding factor for me was Ricciardo had a poor start, while Hamilton had a flawless race. Ricciardo you know is guaranteed a poor start. Another absolute shocker. If you do not give Ricciardo driver of the day over his poor starts then y...

Last year i would have said Hamilton. But Rosberg is beating him this year. Is it because Hamilton is compromising his qualy set up slightly for more race pace? Then overdriving the car making a few mistakes in the process? I still think over a single lap Hamilton has more pace.

Peter77

Ricciardo on the other hand in the first stint on used tyres was a good 2 seconds quicker than Vettel's pace who had new tyres. Incredible incredible to crush your team mate like this. He then pushed at the right moment to get past Bottas for the undercut. Then kept close to Massa and pushed again ...

Peter77

Wouldn't it be smarter to do what Vettel did. Change everything and start from the pitt lane? With the merc pace he would easily cruise to 2nd in brazil. Then could win or even cruise to 2nd in Abhu Dhabi and still win the championship? Maybe, but Vettel didn’t have much choice. RBR said he would n...

http://macofan.com/en/index.php?page=chart&gp=933&graf=3 Vettel's rep continues to fall. Ricciardo absolutely Demolished Vettel in Austin. In the first stint Vettel was 2 seconds slower then Ricciardo. Ricciardo was on used softs Vettel brand new mediums. So times should have been comparable. Then R...

Hamilton was a close second but his pace throughout the race was a fraction up on Rosbergs. Plus he had the fastest car by far so he put the car where it belonged. Very solid drive though and got the win. Ricciardo on the other hand in the first stint on used tyres was a good 2 seconds quicker than ...

@Peter77 The same was said about Vettel throughout the last regulations. And the same is being said now about Hamilton/Nico. The tyres are changing again next season, so let's see. It is hard to read your posts objectively because of your general attitude toward Vettel, which never includes anythin...

"Alonso is made to look good by a poor Fisichella/Massa/Kimi." Funny how some people suddenly decided that these drivers became crap as soon as they partnered Alonso. Yes isn't it strange how very highly regarded drivers suddenly look poor when partnered with Alonso? I think the gap between Alonso ...

Are you not aware of Alonso/Raikonnen and Vettel/Ricciardo being in the exact teams? Some people can get confused...

I remember this also. They had a very fast car the year before then all of a sudden the car was nowhere. Maybe they made a few changes going in the wrong direction then corrected the mistakes and went back in the right direction. As it was a very quick turnaround.

Peter77

As you noticed, Ricciardo was unable to even get within striking distance of an overtake. Not true. Ricciardo was in DRS zone to Alonso. That is definately considered striking distance. Alonso did a great job and kept him at bay. On a track like Russia if you not a good 1 second a lap quicker it is...

Vettel struggled a bit on the primes. He should have been much quicker than Dan in the final stint considering his tyres were 19 laps younger. I suspect, that's why Bottas and even Rosberg accomplished fastest laps at the end of the race? Given Ricciardos magical tyre management, I assume his prime...

The first paragraph though you stated that Vettel had setup issues the entire weekend. That may be true but did Ricciardo not have set up issues also? Are you saying Ricciardo's car was perfect and only Vettel was plagued with setup issues? How do we know Ricciardo did not have even bigger setup is...

Peter77

Ricciardo was being held up by Alonso. Vettel was in clear air on fresh tyres. Huge Difference! The tyres weren't falling off, so that part doesn't matter. While it's true that Ricciardo was probably being held up by Alonso, it's also true that Vettel had setup issues the whole weekend and was prob...

Shouldn't Hamilton do something like this now? To guarantee he has a fresh engine for the final 50 point race? Hamilton is a genuine sportsman he wouldn't entertain doing that, he loves competing. He had an engine catch fire so he is down an engine. Hamilton wants to win the WDC. The last thing he ...

So... points aside, the last 4 races have been a tie between Vettel and DR. DR finished directly in front of Vettel twice and Vettel directly in front of DR twice. I think Vettel is due for some engine penalties soon, so not sure how much longer we can compare the two now that Vettel seems to have ...

Race pace was very poor. But we saw the exact same thing from Ricciardo everytime he qualified very high up. He could never hold the position due to burning up tyres in qualifying and the cars very poor race pace and would end up alot further back where Vergne was.

Peter77

Considering Rosberg was 40 seconds behind Hamilton, and had to pass traffic one very used tyres, really don't see how people could vote for Hamilton. But that's just none of my business! 1. Hamilton was just cruising. Did you hear Martin brundle saying it looks like he is driving an outlap it is so...

Peter77

Can't pick Rosberg when he made a mistake that big on lap 1 again. He really needs to learn you can't win the race at the first turn but you can certainly lose it and today he lost it. Hamilton didn't make a mistake all weekend. Has to go to him. The title is his. :thumbup: Exactly my thoughts. Wel...

I though Vettel always steps up after the summer break? Marko mixed Newey with Vettel when he was saying that. It was always Newey coming up with even more exhaust blowing and downforce after summer break and Vettel "just" bearing fruits of that hard work. We now see when there is no EBD anymore, h...

I though Vettel always steps up after the summer break? Another race where he fails to make Q3 and gets outqualified by his teammate. He's now lost the qualifying battle for the year. So much for being the best qualifier on the grid. Very disappointing from Vettel today in qualifying. Very impressi...

"We considered it neither just nor necessary to intervene," he said, "particularly since this switch brings huge financial savings." That statement seems to suggest he is glad Vettel is leaving as he will save money with Kyvatt. Kyvatt today showed some incredible speed. I wonder if he will be able ...

Crazy. Why in the world aleinate your driver like this. Imagine he pulls a Raikonnen and comes back to Ferrari eventually.
