Re: Redbull Believe Vettel's chassis is faulty
Oh I know. But I don't get why people are bashing Vettel for it either. They swapped the chassis because he wasn't comfortable with it, that doesn't mean it's damaged, just that the driver isn't happy with how it handles. It happens. I'm sure years ago Ferrari gave Schumacher a new chassis because he wasn't comfortable with it.

Vettel has never faced a team mate faster than him before, even in the junior Formula's his team mates were generally slower than he was. Its a bit of a shock when the guy in the same equipment is doing a better job, he's not used to it.
Re: Redbull Believe Vettel's chassis is faulty
Yeah but Paul Di Resta beat him in the same car, something he won't let anyone ever forget. I think Vettel genuinely just didn't feel comfortable in the old chassis.

This is not a childish soap opera but rather engineering with some basic psychology thrown in. Fittipaldi used to spend hours driving his crew crazy.

It is the same with balance, you can set up a car to be lightening quick but it would be unstable and very difficult to drive. So the drivers and teams strive to find the setup that is not only quick but one where the driver feels comfortable with the balance and handling.
For Vettel, the car wasn't working to his satisfaction. So the team tried different fixes, and swapping a chassis is just one of many.

Re: Redbull Believe Vettel's chassis is faulty
That happened to Alesi at Benetton apparently in 1996. He asked for fix after fix after fix and the mechanics got fed up with him so they told him they'd changed things when they hadn't and were shocked when he came back in and said the car felt a million times better. But then Alesi was always a driver who drive with his emotions as much as anything else.silkjet wrote:Who was the driver that the mechanics told "we made the fix you asked for" but they really did not.

It's not our fault he is employed by Red Bull to be their F1 driver. You can set up a petition to get Vettel out of F1, but other than that there is really nothing you can do to take his success away from him or his fans, other than make all those comments, please sir, can I have some more?

- been beaten more often than Dan so far,
-Had to move over twice for Dan,
-Had more reliablity issues than Dan,
just proves his detractors wrong when they said Vettel is the favored golden boy of RB and therefore beat Webber to 4 titles.
But detractors fail to bring that up and admit they were wrong.
Vettel is a 4 x world champion powerhouse and he will continue to prove his detractors as irrational.

Let's see how the season unfolds.
They're just trying to find an issue with the car because they want to discredit Daniel beating Sebastian as 'hardware related'. So even when Red Bull don't release any information on a damaged chassis and outright deny the rumors about one they cling to the fact there must be an issue.
We don't know, so let's just watch how the season progresses. It should tell us a lot about both Seb and Dan.some on here seem to need to criticise the ones who beat their favourite driver in order to try to detract from their driver losing. Simple fact is RBR suspect a problem with the chassis but haven't found it as yet, Ricciardo is driving well, but a much improved Vettel turned up last race (coincidently with a new chassis). Perhaps it was more of a mind game by RBR to reset Seb who knows? But as you say far too early to say who will have the better hand at the end of the season!

Vettel has had worse mechnical luck, but his luck as a whole is better so far, Daniel has had 2 non finishes to Vettel's 1 and that is reflected in the points swing to Seb despite Sebastian yet to finish ahead once on track.
The rest of your post is just fanboy nonsense. No one ever said Vettel beat Webber because RBR tainted it, but RBR always favored Vettel over Mark. They may not over Ricciardo because he is a part of the young driver program and their own development.

Re: Redbull Believe Vettel's chassis is faulty
Possibly not but it all fairness it's as much because of Vettel's reputation as anything else.

It's not our fault he is employed by Red Bull to be their F1 driver. You can set up a petition to get Vettel out of F1, but other than that there is really nothing you can do to take his success away from him or his fans, other than make all those comments, please sir, can I have some more?
- been beaten more often than Dan so far,
-Had to move over twice for Dan,
-Had more reliablity issues than Dan,
just proves his detractors wrong when they said Vettel is the favored golden boy of RB and therefore beat Webber to 4 titles.
But detractors fail to bring that up and admit they were wrong.
Vettel is a 4 x world champion powerhouse and he will continue to prove his detractors as irrational.

Exactly. It is because you can see the difference that you are deliberately replacing that original statement with your own fabricated one so to fit to your own particular disposition of mind.infi24r wrote:I see the difference, but its elementary at this point, they denied the rumors the chassis is bent and provided no other evidence of any chassis problems.Prema wrote: The exact quote:

And this is what you are putting into the citation marks:
"We haven't found any issue"
Do you see the difference?
Not your faked quotes, that's for sure.What evidence do you want that there is no problem?
Re: Redbull Believe Vettel's chassis is faulty
and unfortunately for all of you, a report has been in the media that Seb and Daniel actually get along and have a good relationship....is that to hide how much Vettel hates Daniel cause now he's exposed him as a fraud who can't drive and 5 races....keep dreaming guys, just like Alonso really hates Lewis for what happaned at McLaren, remember those days, pretty similar....in reality all the drivers are just glad to be in F1 and be seen as the top 22 drivers in the world.
You may not agree with them being top drivers, but what are you going to do about it? Whine, and whine to us other F1 fans, instead of telling it to the team bosses that employ these useless drivers and pay them millions.
I can fully understand and support a thread Vettel vs Ricciardo that goes on over the whole season, but all you guys making the biggest thing out of anything you think you heard or saw, is just ridiculous, there is not a thread here that mentions Vettel that hasn't been ruined by your bashing.
We're all supposed to be fans and enjoy F1 and here to share information, your personal problems with a particular driver don't need to be mentioned everyday in every thread that mentions Vettel. We will never hear or see the end of this now across this forum, thanks

Re: Redbull Believe Vettel's chassis is faulty
Exactly. Thats why I don't really see it as brave when people predict Seb will beat Daniel over the whole season. I mean you'd bloody hope so wouldn't you?Covalent wrote: Yep, when you have a 4xWDC and a 0xrace winner as teammates it's only natural.
What will be more interesting is if Daniel continues to outperform Sebastian if overall opinions of driver ability could actually swing towards a guy who has won 0 races over a 4x champ.

Re: Redbull Believe Vettel's chassis is faulty
Yep thats what i thought, you couldnt supply a link.
Nowhere does it says there is a problem, therefore there is no problem, only a suspected one which has proven to be unfounded.
I dont know what that drivel was when i asked for a link, but does that say, yep the chassis had a crack, or yep, the chassis was twisted?
Nope, it doesn't. Therefore, Seb had the same chassis as Dan had in all the races so far.
Laura, its not bashing Vettel. The fact of the matter is some on here, obviously Vettel fans, are desperately trying to use the chassis as an excuse for his
performances against Dan. They just cannot accept the fact that Dan has qualified and raced better than Seb so far this year. And for not the debacle in OZ,
would have been ahead on points.
Seb will probably come back now that hes more comfortable with the car, because lets face it, its a completely different beast to what last years car was, and
maybe its taking Seb a while to get used to it.
But please give Dan credit where credit is due. His performances have been beyond what anyone would have expected this year, and Seb has got a challenge on his hands, its refreshing.
Now ive just read the above link from 'Paddock Talk'. Who's lying, Red Bull who deny the report, or Vettel who claims something wrong?

Riccardo definately has a problem also with his chassis then. I'm sure using a scanning electron microscope and checking everything to the millionth of a millimetre it would show it was not 100% correct. Even a millionth off would show his chassis is only 99.9999%. Ricciardo definately needs a new chassis also :p

Re: Redbull Believe Vettel's chassis is faulty
It's equally clear, though, that Vettel has had issues of some kind. Now, whether that's the chassis or something else is largely immaterial: the fact is he's not been operating at his best. Investigating the chassis is just one in a process of elimination to exclude potential sources of Vettel's problems. I don't know why people are making such a big deal of it, with those trying to prove it's nothing to do with the chassis sometimes sounding as desperate as those claiming it is. Why does it even matter whether it's the chassis or something else?

None of this detracts from Ricciardo's performances, which have been very good. But we can still say Seb's not performing at his peak without that automatically calling into question what Ricciardo's done. I for one would rather have both of them operating at their best.
Re: Redbull Believe Vettel's chassis is faulty
You can't say for sure that wasn't his best. Just because Seb gets outdone by another driver doesn't discredit his result.

I've never said it doesn't count, so why would I start now? You appear to be making the assumption that anybody defending Seb must be a fan of his, and I'm not.

And once again, it's not about discrediting Ricciardo. He's obviously doing very well so why would I do that? But I can say with reasonable confidence that Seb hasn't been at his best because both he and Horner (among others) have said so. That doesn't mean that I think he will start beating Ricciardo when he finally sorts himself out, either. It's clear Ricciardo's more than capable of holding his own. Maybe he's better than Seb. Good for him if he is. I'd just prefer to see it when both are at the top of their game.

Re: Redbull Believe Vettel's chassis is faulty
If you look hard enough you'll find something wrong with any chassis that's done a race distance or two. Those kerbs can be brutal.
Re: Redbull Believe Vettel's chassis is faulty
When Webber was getting beaten by Vettel did we see the team go out of their way changing and stripping chassis and now designing entirely new ones for him? NO Parts were taken off his car for Vettel's even when webber was leading the championship in 2010. I think we all remember in 2010 the famous statement not bad for a number 2 driver. As webber was ahead on points and being treated as clear number 2 and he was very angry about this. In the interview at silverstone he looked like he was about to kill somebody. Not equally at all and never was.infi24r wrote:You can't say for sure that wasn't his best. Just because Seb gets outdone by another driver doesn't discredit his result.

All we have now is a situation where Ricciardo is quicker than Vettel. Instead of the team focusing on Ricciardo and building him a new chassis and checking his chassis as he is the faster driver they are predominantly focusing on Vettel. Ricciardo's chassis has not been checked which is clear favouritism. Why is Vettel's chassis only being checked and stripped . If the team is focussing the majority of their efforts on Vettel and stripping chassis and building new ones you would expect him to be alot quicker than Ricciardo any day now. Extra attention, extra focus, clear favouritism, new lighter chassis and new parts for Vettel being designed first. I'm definately expecting Vettel to become alot quicker then Ricciardo over the next few races due to this. Riicciardo is quicker. If the gap closes and or Vettel is all of a sudden quicker it will be very obvious why. I wonder if and or when Ricciardo is going to get his new lighter chassis does any anybody know?

The drivel is that for some reason you particularly picked on me to supply you with a non existing link for something that I personally have never made a claim about.

What a brilliant deduction! You solved this issue right on the spot. See, 'Prema' did not supply you the requested link (that you knew couldn't be supplied), and so you got your proof.
And now you may kindly share that knowledge with Red Bull too so that they can save their money and time in looking further.
