I thought it was just numpty's on 606 that gave him a bad rep!?? Don't remember reading much in the press about it at the time!
The press weren't keen on him, because he was involved in a rivalry with a british driver, more specifically, the british F1 Golden Boy, Mr. Hamilton.
Yes the Toro Rosso was a decent car but NOT a race winning car like Hamilton's McLaren! Vettel was generally on the edge off the points in 08 with the exception of Monza however Hamilton got 4 wins in his first season!! A big big difference! At least Seb has the experience of not always winning in F1!
I like you colin, so i'll put it nicely. That argument doesn't hold much water i'm afraid. By that logic, Luca Badoer is the greatest ever f1 driver. Even Jean Denis Deletraz could be considred a great. 2-3 races, no points no wins.
The point im trying to make is that when he loses, although not happy, he doesnt have a tantrum! Lewis does sometimes! Seemples
Hah, listen to the pot call the kettle black. When you post something sensible, maybe i'll listen to the point you've made about my argument. Me being called ridiculous by the master of ridiculous and patronising posts.
For now Alonso is my pantomime baddy in F1, but this doesn't mean I think badly of him. The simple reason he makes a good baddy for me is the fact he's such a fast, skillful, well tempered, the works driver.
I've thought of Alonso as a baddie until this season, where i've actually found myself cheering him on occasionally, because of his slight personality shift.
how am i a hpyocrite - my argument makes perfect sense! Lewis has always had a winning car, Seb has NOT! Thats a fact! Therefore I think thats why Lewis sometimes has tantrums and a part of the reason why he fell out with Fernando.
Every time Vettel loses he seems unhappy. Look at Canada, it looked like he wanted to murder Jenson Button.
My point exactly! He was unhappy (as any sportsman would be, including myself who is a motorsport competitor!) Seb did not have a tantrum and starting blaming everyone else! He admitted he made a mistake! Who wouldnt be unhappy if they lost a race on the last lap!
