Do you agree that Vettel is the reason why Ferrari doesn't have a World Drivers Champion this year?

    I blame Vettel for singlehandedly screwing up winning the WDC this year. He handed it to Hamilton and Mercedes on a silver platter. Baku was retarded, and Singapore wasn't much better. Ferrari provided him with a great car. He's certainly proven he's no Schumacher, that's for sure. I think he's completely lost the plot.

    Like Hamilton, he's the same whinging hot head who can only win in a perfect car* and can't cope with pressure.

    *yeah yeah...Monza in the wet.

    Don't like him, never will, he's a hothead for sure, I should know, it takes one to recognise one :oops:

    He doesn't have the intelligence to stay out of trouble which is why Dan will flog him and Verstappen whenever he comes up against either of them.

    Verstappen is an accident looking for a place to happen and Vettel is looking for someone to blame for ALL of his indiscretions

    Remember when he slammed into Webber in the wet years ago when dickhead Hamilton slammed the brakes on behind the safety car ?

    Vettel wasn't paying attention and he rammed Webber who also had to slam the brakes on to avoid knucklehead Hamilton.

    I think it's about time someone from race control pulled Hamilton up for the way he behaves behind a safety car but not likely with Charlie

    Lets not forget Shumi was a dirty champion, he had no issue running others off the track and into them.

    The field at most tracks are still slower, all are playing catch up to Benz, he is faster than his team mate. he is a multi year world champion, but for sure he has made some rookie errors, he is only human and under huge pressure.

    Not sure any other driver in the field would do a better job, i believe not much real difference in skill-level between the top drivers.

    Rather him in Ferrari than having to compete against him.

    You're correct as usual, 3 bizarre incidents have gifted the WDC to Hamilton.

    And yes, Dan is a better driver than Seb.

    Honestly, I'm surprised Ferrari got this close to Benz this season. I was expected it to be a battle between the two Mercedes drivers so it's much improved over the last few years for Ferrari. I think next year will be a lot better and if Ferrari can avoid unforced errors, they'll be able to win the WDC (not WCC due to Kimi imo).

    Can you put spoiler in the title please?

    Vettel will be wishing he hadn't wasted all those points previously, that's for sure

    Reliability has cost them more than Vettel has. The new oil burning restrictions haven't helped either.

    Next year wont be any better especially if Red Bull hit the ground running from the outset, and Mclaren should be in the mix with a competitive engine.

    Kimi is a weak team mate, and I already sense panic, prepare for Marchionne sackings to begin soon. Lol

    That's not the point. Vettel should never cost them any points....esp not for being a DH. Mechanical issues happen to everyone at different times, and until recently, the Ferrari has been bullet proof.

    Sure, he acted like a D$ckhead in baku. That cost them points. Singapore start was a stuff up but thats racing. Sh$t happens.

    Costing himself a WDC because of it ? Nah, I don't think so.

    Look, I don't like him either. Hard to support this team with him at the helm.

    Ok...how many points lost by Vettel stupidity? Mechanical stuff happens (even to Mercedes), but with the money they're paying him, the dumb moves he's been making are inexcusable IMO. If Vettel hadn't squandered those points, where would they be now even WITH the mechanical issues? Still with a shot, that's where. Now...forget it. It would take a total meltdown by Lewis and Mercedes, and they're under no pressure, so that's not going to happen.

    by my reckoning off the top of my head, and thinking best case scenarios, if he had won baku he would have scored an extra 13 points, and assume he won singapore then another 25. So 38 potentially.

    Granted baku was his own doing.

    Singapore ?? Do you really blame him 100% for that ?
