    Thats what I mean...I have no problem with a racer sulking if things not going well or if he loses, because if it doesnt affect you when you lose then you are a loser, and would never be a champion...meaning you accept being a loser. But it is if you can let go of your frustrations and bounce back, especially if you take no prisoners when you bounce back. I like Bottas and I would really like him to make a fist of the championships. He needs to believe in himself more though.

    I don't think Vettel has really got to grips with any of his cars in the hybrid era. The first year was when Riccy joined Red Bull I think and he seemed to be beating Seb. Then Seb moves to Ferrari and does OK but Ferrari didn't really give him great machinery. Now they again have a car that might give Merc a run for it's money on a good day he has a young/new team mate who seems to be getting more out of the car. It's almost like he can't drive without the blown diffusers or maybe the blown diffusers covered his errors and he hasn't learned to avoid the errors when under pressure.
    Not sure why but I have never really seen Seb as a great driver, yes he is good but not sure he is $30million a year good.

    Vettel has only looked good against Webber, Raikkonen has scored less but made fewer mistakes. I don't rate Seb at all. he was lucky to be at Red Bull in the blown diffuser era with a team mate who was not brilliant. Ferrari's No1 and No 2 strategy has failed them. I think they need to let them race, if the contract allows. They will learn more about their car by letting them race, if Charles can deliver when Seb isn't they will find the real weaknesses of the car. Ferrari need to be ruthless on this if they want to be title contenders. They are stuck with Seb till end 2020.
