    I think it depends on how Red Bull do during the season. What happens if by mid-season Red Bull are still having reliability problems, or what if they've fixed reliability but are left with a slow car? I think Vettel will talk to other teams, even if talks aren't serious. Remember his contract expires in 2015 and in the past the final year of his contract has been an performance-based option.

    If Red Bull focus on 2015 early that might convince Vettel to stay another year, but if he thinks Red Bull are no longer the best team, he will try to leave IMO. He wants to win championships, it would make sense to leave.

    That or try to sabotage another drivers car with the TP help, brake test a rival into crashing, blackmail the team into making him number 1, need his team mate to crash into a wall so he can win a race, insult his own team multiple times in the media, or start to use venomous mind games because he's being beaten by another driver.

    I mean Vettel has all this waiting to happen!

    There are reports going about that Lewis has proposed to Nicole.

    oh, I'd forgotten how he'd passed the buck and cost someone getting one day of his wages their employment. As to haters, I don't hate Hamilton, just his delusional fan boys.

    The hardest task of being a fan is the ability to be objective on the errors they do in public.

    Like with me with Vettel and Germany 2012, it took me until the stewards verdict of a penalty to actually admit and accept Vettel made himself look like an idiot in thinking he could do that off track with Button, beforehand I was saying Button pushed him off track at one point. In hindsight it's easier to point out the bias than to be that person who must try and understand to be objective as much as possible.

    Perhaps there should just be a stickied thread for Hamilton and Vettel 'talk'.

    Would render most of the forum inactive I know but it saves my soul trying to take its own life when I read chapter 342983782784 of the same...'argument' <ok>

    Not really I say just don't allow it simple enough with a private thread because it will just boil over into other threads if it got out of hand *which it will*. I don't mind people considering what Vettel may or may not do this year with regards to hissy fits and want to dissect it mentally. dhel and others have an interest of knowledge in Vettel's persona for this year and the possible mindset as they're a F1 fans like all of us here and are just very excited in seeing something which is normal in my books sports wise. No different in us wanting to see fireworks from Ferrari and Mercedes teams.

    In short let it continue as it is, I have no problem with negative words or theories towards Vettel/messiah, some might even be correct in the end so I welcome it, but don't think for one second I won't compare the situation to another driver if somebody tries to make out it's unique to Seb and make a '50 reasons why finger boy is a massive tool compared to the other drivers'. Me and miggins will very likely smell the double standard a mile off and become a heat seeking missile with our (book rack) of similarities in which to show another driver which was no worse or even more worse than Vettel's incident.

    In that case I will be giving out bi-monthly awards

    -Fanboi
    -Hater
    -Paranoid

    Maybe a special award for anyone who's total posts are more that 66% about a driver they don't support :D

    Only buck passing I know of is your idol getting Alguersuari sacked just because he could not pass him in a practice session in Korea and then Marko jumping on the bandwagon, can see you have a cyclops view when it comes to your idol. As for hating Hami fans, I just wont get no sleep tonight thinking of a one eyed fanboy hating me. Its just a shame some people cant stick to the thread topic.

    Perhaps a slight tangent, but maybe a more interesting question...

    The Renault powertrain isn't the only issue with the Red Bull, other teams have been able to get more reasonable mileage, albeit pretty slowly, out of it. If in FP1 and 2 the Red Bull continues to be highly unreliable, but the Toro Rosso shows better reliability, would Red Bull consider swapping Vergne and Vettel around for FP3 and beyond to try and maximise Vettel's chances of finishing, preventing him from falling as far behind in the driver's championship?

    I'm showing strongly for the turd stirrer award, but I don't want to spunk my wad too early, just in case there are double points at the last GP.

    You can almost smell the pent-up fractiousness around here. This weekend should be a scream. :p

    I'm looking forward to see if any of the drivers dare show emotion, I'll prepare my lambasting stick.
