Vettel knew how to get the most out of Red Bull's blown diffuser. Take that away and he's good but not great like Alonso and Hamilton.

Is the problem with him or Luca Di Montezemolo? I think you will know more than non Italian people.

Ferrari as a whole is the problem.

Ricciardo is faster than you, can you confirm?


I'm not sure whether Ricciardo is a great talent or Vettel was as overhyped as i always said he was.

I think Vettel has an attitude problem while Ricciardo is taking it all in and happy to driving for RB. They also see Ricciardo's attitude as a positive for the sport and the team so they would rather give him the better opportunities.

When the team orders was given to yield Vettel resisted for a few laps and it possibly cost Ricciado a podium finish. This type of behaviour will not earn him any favours.

I was lmfao as a CATERHAM! passed Vettel and his hand goes up and in that Jerry English "are you kidding me?" absolutely beautiful!

Vettel is a decent driver but he relies on the car too much. let's say with him it's 50% car and 50% ability whereas drivers like Alonso it's more like 60-70% ability. Kimi (I am sad to say) needs more from the car to be competitive. Hamilton however I put in the same category as Alonso. Hamilton has destroyed Rosberg in every race this year that he finished in. yes Bahrain was close but if safety car wasn't there it would have been the same as China. Hamilton also made Mclaren look better than it was looking back. He left for Mercedes and Mclaren hasn't had a podium all 2013. and after Australia podium it seems they're back in that form.

Agreed, Alonso almost won 2 championships in a Ferrari that saw Massa merely fighting for the points all season long.
Hamilton outpaced Button in almost every race.

Those are the only 2 drivers i'd put in a car from the 80s

Top Gear had an Ayrton Senna special where Hamilton drove Senna's Mclaren (MP4-4 I believe) and was laughing like a little boy the whole time. Was awesome to see.

Red Bull: "Sebastian, let Riccardo through. Let Daniel through.
Vettel: "Which tyre is he on"
Red Bull "Primes, but he stopped later than you"
Vettel: "Tough Luck"

Massa has the best starts this year and Alonso makes the best of his equipment, always, just like Hamilton.

As a big Raikkonen fan, so far this season is painful to watch but I don't want to discount Kimi yet. The fact is that he drives in a way that is easy on the tires but with the harder compounds this year it means that he isn't getting enough heat in them. So a big advantage last year has turned into a disadvantage this year.

I feel the natural order of things is being restored with Hamilton at the front and Vettel being distinctly average.

How come Alonso was fast in a renault and then a crappy ferrari over the years?
Raikkonen is only fast with the right equipment in the right conditions. Alonso could make a moped fast.
