    Rod of Lambastation? do we have a member of the aristocracy driving, or is he in a young driver program? I'm going to go on record and say he's a pay driver and a c**t

    Maybe a Turd Stirrer and Poop Flinger are needed.

    I thought we were slagging off drivers, not the new noses

    I think the noses would be Turd Burglars.

    You are quite right there...I am not bashing Vettel. If you read the question you and what Red Bull guy is saying you will surely ask the question. Maybe not on the forum but I am sure you would ask in your head. Ok..we have a guy who has been winning winning winning and all of a sudden he finds himself in a car that is liable to break before it gets on the starting grid...wouldn't you be interested in his mindset after about four of five races if the troubles continue?i remember a few times when Vettel got very ragged when under pressure. Remember the battle with Button and the one with Lewis when he thought that the back marker car should have disappeared off the track? Now he placed second in those races but you saw the anger and almost breaking point...You get a glimpse of this then you start to wonder what if he suffers a few DNFs and there is no end in sight to the problems what would be his reaction. Will it manifest itself on track? In the paddock? At press conferences? I am sure an ultimate racer must have some breaking point... I am sure most of us will be looking out to see if he will break..even if some of us doesn't have the balls to ask the question openly.

    The thing is I don't mind the "bashing" of Vettel if it's a sound argument, you have the human right to complain or theories about an attitude he does or does not use on this kind of forum would become irrelevant in conversation for you if were not allowed to express that in an open society we live in. It wouldn't be very fair to not allow you to point your questions or opinions across what Vettel may or may not do, maybe before studying Psychology I would of done differently but now I can see and trust the people in this place to give an equal and fair response to the questions you are asking.

    Please keep asking questions, you might one day find the full answers you are looking for.

    Dont get me wrong...I am not saying who is going to win and who is going to lose. All I want to find out is if Vettel's composure will change if things are not going for him. People have been saying this and that about what type of person he is one way or the other - but remember he has been winning and winning, now what will happen if he isnt winning and starts to suffer failures, DNFs and the like? Will he start to make mistakes like he did the few times he was under real pressure? Will it show in press conferences, the paddock or the race track? I am sure that for someone who has been winning all the time for four straight years, there must be some change in his composure if he starts losing and not even finishing some races. So the question is. If that turns out to be the case will Vettel start looking elsewhere?

    here's a question, WHY? do you really care if he loses his composure? or (as i suspect after hearing lots of people say this kind of stuff) do you just want to see him lose his composure, so you can just take a little more enjoyment out of him not being able to win or something.

    It's kinda pointless asking that question since none of us know exactly how he'll respond if/when he has a bad season. But, I actually think he's prepared for a bad season. Remember his message to his team last year when he was talking about how they should 'remember these times' and how they wouldn't always be this good (paraphrasing)... He knows he can't stay at the top forever, but he knows to maximize his results while he is up there.

    With regards to those comments in 2013 he did say the same in 2011 as well so he isn't stupid with regards to how easy it is to fall from the top spot in F1.

    You know what? I believe you like some other here is asking the same question but isn't bold enough to ask it. I don't want to see any driver fail or have a bad day..I just want drivers in equal equipment compete and have a real battle out there..that's the fun in racing for me, not some guy pulling off the track with a burning engine. My dream is to see Vettel, Kimi, Alonso, Massa, Jenson, Grosjean, Rosberg and a few others really fighting it out until the finish line. That's racing, and that's fun for me. So as I said before..don't get me wrong ok.

    Is Dhel a repetitive and boring cnut? I'm not bashing him, or saying he is just because all his threads and posts are negatively aimed at Vettel and/or RB, I'm just asking the question. I think I'm the only one bold enough to ask it.


    tik tok, when is FP1 gonna start
