I'm turning the tv off.
Vettel always fights with webber during qualifying, this year they're very close in qualifying yet there's a 2 second gap during each and every race...

mumble mumble, how do they cheat?

Alonso is not particularly fond of of Vettel. I think the Singapore crowd is booing Vettel even .

People range widely in their opinions of Vettel and his skill level. I will argue that he is one of the best ever, for several reasons: He has demonstrated he can run through the pack to podium, he has shown he can grab pole position at almost any track. He does well in the dry and in the wet. He has some insane ability to pull away from the pack with a full fuel load and still manage his tires. Some people argue that he's in the best chassis and I will join them in agreement but his dominance of his team mate shows it's more than that. I admire the way he closes his eyes and appears to meditate whenever waiting to qualify or race; this man is about concentrating on the mission ahead with a sharp clarity. He is not thinking about a bottle of vodka nor his girlfriend, just every corner and shaving tenths.

I am not his supporter due to the arrogant finger and ugly ruthless attitude. The 'greatest' champions tend to be very ruthless in their desire to win at all costs but I do not value that as true greatness. I think those things are visible to the public and they don't fancy it either.

At the end of the day, he sure can drive.

Paul.

Yes, Vettel is a great talent, but I don't like him. I've been trying to analyze why. I didn't like Hamilton when he was dominating either. Having the same person win every race gets boring. But, some how, this affects me a lot more with Vettel. It didn't seem to happen with Schumacher. It may have to do with the required reliability of the cars of today. Schumacher simply broke down more often, allowing others to win.

All F1 drivers are arrogant, comes with the territory, when you're arguably one of the top 25 drivers in the world then you can adopt a certain swagger legitimately. However the myriad of reasons I dislike Vettel range from his colossal arrogance, his dumping on his team-mate and that f***ing finger.

He's a very good driver, no question, but then F1 has a lot of very good drivers, Red Bull has Adrian Newey though, for the last 25 years if there has been a really fast car on the F1 Grid, it's probably been designed by Adrian Newey, 9 constructors championships in 22 years. He was with Williams to 1996 and had a hand in the 97 Williams car, from that point Williams have not had significant success. The 1998 Mclaren was streets ahead of anyone else at the start of the season and the 1999 car was also pretty tip-top. He was on a $10 million a year contract with Red Bull from 2006 and from there on the Red Bull has been a front running car. I don't think Vettel (Or Fingery McDouchephallus as his name translates to in old East Anglian) would have anything like as many wins to his name without Adrian Newey's influence.

The question is...
who would you choose if you had to race a Marussia?
I'd take Alonso or Hamilton over Vettel.

ATL-GP

^^^agreed...Alonso or Hamilton allllll day long.

Alonso, Hamilton, Raikkonen or Button over McDouhephallus!

I found this when I was browsing youtube for onboard videos. Trying to convince my friends to go to Texas with me in November, since this would be the last year to hear the 2.4 V8s. And it's just really frustrating for me and I'm sure for all of you, if you think for a second how the engine noises is getting worse and worse.

So, seriously guys, go to this year's races. The sound's only gonna get worse.

Will66

You know what, I thought Vettel had traction control at Singapore too. Considering his pace advantage against his team-mate it does make a modicum of sense.

bse50

The FIA should ask for their race telemetry OR download their ecu's software during the race.. not after.

I won't watch qualifying
