  24. With 15 races still to go, Sebastian could hardly contain his excitement at the thought of a new helmet design.

    1. This wins!

  25. Maybe if I just add this performance clause while no one is watching…

  26. Dear Mr Horner

    It’s been a long time since we spoke. I see you seem somehow more flexible these days, regarding who drives your car every new race. Give me a call sometime, maybe we can work something out…

    Yours, 4-time-WDC

    1. And to add to that: maybe you can put me in the car in Canada and demote max to Ferrari?

  27. sebastian is trying to design a new color scheme that won’t attract any more angry charging (red)bulls.

    I found this on the Internet:

    “Secret Rocket Fuel”
    6H (aq)+2MnO4+5H2O2(f) -> 2Mn2(aq)+5O2 (g)+8H2O(f)

    Maybe this will help us get past those damn Mercedes.

    Sincerely,
    Seb

    I will never use a computer

  31. Dear Agony Aunt,

    I split with my previous partner who I’d had many good years with, for a scarlet woman, who told me she’d settle down with me and promised me so much more. After 2 years, things aren’t what I expected and now I’m seeing my previous love with a much younger guy, I find myself lusting after her again…

    What shall I do?

    1. Good one.

    2. Very nice!

    First you guys robbed me of the win in Australia with that strategy…
    Then HE CAME AT ME LIKE A TORPEDO
    In Bahrain my engine quit
    Then the torpedo struck.. Again
    In Spain the 18 year old won when we should have, what are we doing here? Racing or ping pong?
    In Monaco we werent quick enough..
    Red bull, do you want me back?

  39. Dear Christian, I’m sorry I left. Please help me!

  40. Dear Santa please give me a Mercedes with red paint all over it.
    and
    Make sure that Kimi tells me a good joke at every start of a GP
    and
    Make sure that I can tell him one at the finnish.

  44. Seb starts designing his own car…

  46. Turn 1, understeer on entry, snap oversteer on throttle, understeer on exit.

    Turn 2, understeer, entry, apex and low overall grip on exit.

    Turn 3 twitches to the left in first phase of breaking. Oversteer on entry, understeer on apex and snap oversteer on exit, followed by understeer.

    Turn 4, rear tires overheating, fronts to cold, car understeers on entry, plows to corner exit.

    Turn 5, fronts up to temperature, rears snap on breaking, contact with the barrier.

    Turn 5, sun was nice and marshals very professional.

  47. Daniel,
    I’ m ready for another game of ping pong.

  48. Dear Mr Bieber,

    I wasn’t on the podium today, but I hope to meet you during your stay in Monaco.

  50. And how would you rate the performance of your boss, on a scale of 1-5? Please explain.

  51. Another German would be handy…

  52. Looks like even Ferrari have fallen into the practice of hiring pay drivers.

  53. “Ferrari is faster than RedBull

    Ferrari is faster than RedBull”

  54. Dear Herr Matesseich ( sic ! )

    So…..as I was saying only last year, I never wanted to leave
    your wonderful team really. It was, just, well…. those bright red cars
    I used to play with when I was a boy. So beautiful to look at
    and race across the carpet at home.

    But…now I have actually driven one…..well, honestly, I just think dark blue
    suits my personality better…and then there’s that genius Mr Newey….
    So, if you and Senhor Marchionne could have a little money chat…..
    …you know…..a few million here, a few hundred million there….

    I’m sure I could be back in the right coloured car and the right coloured
    race suit as fast as light !

    Your ever faithful, very best driver…

    Sebastian.

  74. Hmmm, so there is no escape clause in this contract, too bad they wrote it in pencil, let’s see what we have, here’s a gap, if I just add a few words…..

    In his best handwriting vettel adds

    ‘if the Ferrari F1 team fail to produce a Race winning car for any season or vettel (he’s the best) doesn’t get everything he wants he can leave the team’

    Dear Jim, please fix it for me to drive a world championship winning F1 car. From Sebastian, aged 28.

  107. Dear Max:

    I really feel your pain.

    It is not about the crash at the Massenet. It is about Rossi stealing your spotlight after getting the milk, a ring, the kiss from a princess, a face in the trophy, and a winner’s tour. So sorry you only got a small refrigerator with a 2016 supply of Red Bull after winning Spain.

  108. Dear Manor:

    It is so humiliating that Rossi won the Indy 500 and I have not won a race. Why you did not take him?

    “And yesterday I had such a hiding. The master took me by the hair and dragged me out into the yard and beat me with the stirrup-strap because by mistake I went to sleep rocking their baby. And one day last week the mistress told me to gut a herring and I began from the tail and she picked up the herring and rubbed my face with the head. The other apprentices make fun of me, they send me to the tavern for vodka and make me steal the cucumbers and the master beats me with the first thing he finds. And there is nothing to eat. They give me bread in the morning and gruel for dinner and in the evening bread again but I never get tea or cabbage soup they gobble it all rip themselves. And they make me sleep in the passage and when their baby cries I dont get any sleep at all I have to rock it. Dear Grandad for the dear Lords sake take me away from here take me home to the village I cant bear it any longer. Oh Grandad I beg and implore you and I will always pray for you do take me away from here or I’ll die. . . .”
