    He is not MS nor does he have any Ferrari titles. He was very much part of last year's failure along with the car. He is no MS at all. He's a good F1 driver but appears to have issues with pressure it seems. How long does a team wait and how many chances do you give. They have the best car its being said and we still lose. I have no issues if he wins this year. if he doesnt and its not due to the car then more focus will be placed on him I would think. Quite normal as well.

    Are you referring to Hockenheim as a tiny mistake?

    If so, your comment is ridiculous. That was one of the biggest and unforgivable blunders of the season if not the decade. That was throwing away the championship for absolute no reason. As I said, Enzo would have sacked him.

    Look at the speed he's doing. Or rather, lack of it. First at the scene on a freshly rained over track. Leaking Williams that left fluids (as photographers have said, not an excuse or even a mention by Vettel). Yeah I think this is a rather small mistake. If he had been pushing, absolutely it would've been a huge mistake and entirely on his own.

    Ferrari only have had the fastest car on a few occasions...I really don't think anyone (in his right mind) would say that Ferrari have had the fastest car all season. From Austria onwards, the Ferrari has been the fastest car in the race at least. Could've won Austria but the FIA's bias gave us a penalty. We won Silverstone. Would've won Germany if it wasn't for extremely poorly planned rain. Hungary should've been a walk over but the rain ruined it all on Saturday. Nigh on impossible to overtake so can't do much there.

    If it wasn't for the biased penalty and the rain in Hungary, we'd be a few points behind only. If we win Belgium and Monza, we're right in it again.

    Yeah that was just pathetic for a supposed Ferrari lead driver. He handed the championship to Hamilton with a Lance Stroll-esque move.

    We've had the best car all year and thanks to Seb's endless brain farts we're way behind in the WDC. Unacceptable. I'm not sure I have ever been more pissed off at one of our drivers than after that race.

    Huh?

    Jerez 1997 - Villeneueve was probably going to get past anyway. MSC was up against a car much faster than his all year
    Spa 1998 - Way worse conditions than anything Vettel had to deal with. F1 doesn't even race when the weather is like this anymore
    Great Britain 1999 - The Tifosi should be bad at MSC for his brakes failing and him breaking his leg?
    Austria 2002 - MSC didn't make that call, why would the Tifosi be mad?
    Imola 2005 - Drags an crap car to a near victory in a classic race. Barely loses out to Alonso who is one of the greatest ever. The Tifosi were supposed to be mad?
    Monaco 2006- Yeah that was a dumb move but he came back to 5th in the race so it didn't cost him all that much really

    Renault's Abiteboul told Ricci not to expect much from next season. Renault thinks they might have a winning car at the earliest in 2020.

    I see Horner is still a ****

    Him and his Eurotrash can just **** right off, Dan has trashed Crastappen each year and those tossers still favour him, well **** them and the horse they rode in on

    Max, fast but stupid, Dan, fast and a great RACER !!

    As an Aussie I didn't rate Webber, great qualifier but blew too many starts and ****ed up being nice to the tossers like Horner and Mako shark

    Dan is the real deal and shouldn't play second fiddle to a pretender who would be dead in any past era of F1 , where the safety standards aren't as good as they are now,with the stupid antics he has pulled

    Horner is an arse and Dan will show him up for what he and that BS rbr team, just a pack of arseholes ...................

    Gee, I'll be bad when I finish drinking tonight :D

    Please god keep me out of the F1 section :D:D:D:D:D

    I think that the Red Bull team was great up to now because the addition of the two drivers; kind of "the total being greater than the sum of the parts", if you want. I'm no fan of Max Verstappen, but he is indeed fast and have kept Daniel on its toes.
    Now that Daniel has left, to my opinion (and this is just an opinion...) there is a big chunk missing in the Red Bull team; it will be interesting to see how Max V. will cope with his increasing role next year.
    To me, Daniel is "the real deal" indeed and they should have gone up to the impossible to keep him. A great loss to the team, whatever they might say.

    Max will have to take the leadership role in the team, but I don't think he is capable of doing it.

    I doubt he will be capable of it, but perhaps I shall be proven wrong; it has already happened quite a number of times...

    How is it getting old if its still happening? What has Max done that Dan hasn't, other than lose to him year after year....

    and what does Vettel have to do with this? I've never been a fan of Vettel.

    Someone mark me, Renault will be a contender very soon. They have all the right things in motion and their aero concepts are the best on the grid sans perhaps Red Bull.
