    Red Bull had never won a race until Vettel moved there.

    But they were consistently up there in the points and improving...then Newey came and Vettel won? What you should have said too was red bull didn't win until Newey came?.maybe? Lol

    Wasn't it one of those wet race lotteries when Vettel won before coming to red bull?

    Not really a lottery. He got pole too. His team mate bourdais qualified 4th I think and messed up in the race . It wasn't a fluke

    Even without that race STR beat Red Bull.

    Also, Newey's been at Red Bull since 2006 and they didn't win until Vettel arrived in 2009. Not that it matters, Vettel's arrival coincided with Red Bull's upturn in form, same with Hamilton at Mercedes.

    I shouldn't have read that with a mouth full of coffee. I almost spat the lot.

    Maybe if Hamilton keeps banging on like he has, they'll put Vettel in a Skoda next year and we can all have a laugh. :p

    If you like him that much, why don't you jump into bed with him? Or are you already his personal pre-race 'fluffer'?

    He is trying to be Gangster, but in reality he is about as gangster as a barbie doll.

    Merry Christmas to my friend Sebastian Vettel.

    It's ok for Vettel forPresident to walk around with Lewis on one shoulder and Seb on his back... I dont think anyone will shun him in this age....:emoticon-0119-puke:
    But I am not interested in that, all I want is some discussion on the cars, teams drivers and their driving talent...that's all.

    Oh the irony.

    As for driver discussions et al, simple

    Sebastian Vettel is the best driver, and he has the best car, that's all that needs to be said afaic.



    Wazzock, really? I havn't heard anyone called that for about 30 odd years, it made me laugh though

    I think it's about time that it saw a revival, so I will be championing it's use during the 2014 season.

    you've done nothing but slag him & RBR off since the day you first posted, the simple truth of the matter is if he wasn't that good there's no way RBR would've kept him on, they aren't shy in getting rid of their mediocre young drivers, or the fairly good ones either, he's broken pretty much every record there is (except the one Chilton will never lose), and not always in the best car (lotus and Ferrari were the best at the start of the season, and he still led them in the title before the tyre change).

    He's making himself a legend of the sport with still many, many years ahead of him. I don't think anybody can actually believe he's only a mediocre driver. Yes his car gives him massive advantage, but even with a car that's of similar performance to the competition, he's still right there.

    RBR aren't going to build a rocket ship and let a monkey pilot it.

    I fear I may have just wondered in to Woy Hodgeson territory.

    Usually the best driver/car combination wins.. It's the way of F1, and not for the first time things are being changed to try mix it up. Although I'm bored to tears by his dominance, I have no interest in stupid ways to try stop him winning... but F1 is nothing if not slightly ridiculous.
