Agree with all that @Murray ! Hamilton and Rosberg, BRILL pairing. Maldonado and Gros LOL! Kobi, LOVE HIM!and Bianchi has such promise! @Mathers, Jules and Bianchi would be good too, a great test for Jules!
What a great topic to revive! For me there are three stand-above-the-rest drivers. I’ve seen Alonso v Hamilton. Now I’d LOVE to see Hamilton v Vettel and Vettel v Alonso.THAT would be sweet!!
They’re a real rip off! I used to get them at Silverstone, but had stopped. I got one this year because I thought it would be good to identify drivers in the support racers, and it was good for that but £15 for that privilege! I’ll print off what I need next year!
I don’t mean to suggest that at all. I rate him as one if the top three drivers in the world in the most elite form of motor racing. You have to be very talented and work very hard to get in that position. But I just don’t think there’s any denying that he has the fastest car at the moment (I don’t mean top end power, I mean most driveable and able to sustain the speed over the course of a race).he may not have the fastest next year with all the change coming, we’ll have to wait and see.
@nick. Of course you need luck! hats what I was pointing out. Had Hamilton had the good sort instead of the bad sort last year he’d likely have won. Mclaren threw away both titles. I’m not putting down Vettel, he extracts the maximum out of a stunning car, Webber doesn’t. So that’s credit to Vettel and it looks like yes he’s on to his 4th. Newey designs it, Vettel drives, it, Newey hones it to his style and away they go. You don’t need quite so much luck then.
Yes thats true. But for most of that year Newey clawed the downforce back, it’s only at the beginning when it was lacking that the drivers were close. And also the superiority of the Bull over the other teams went as well. This was a closer fought year than 2011, and closer than this year. Vettel was lucky to get this one. Other teams screw ups helped.
Of course the drivers want more downforce, it’s just that Vettel can do more with it than Webber. I’d check the statistics of those races when the DD was banned before the rear downforce came back, it wasn’t a long period, and Webber was on Vettel’s pace
@mnmracer bubble not burst. Of course there’s more than corners on a racetrack LOL. It’s just that cornering is what sorts out the men from the boys( cars as well as drivers)And also when watching the races, look out for how the cars behave on cornering. The Bull is planted. There’s so much rear downforce that Seb can rotate the car in the corner and power out of it without risk of loosing the back end. He gets a big advantage from being able to do that. When double diffusers were banned, before Newey was able to engineer back some of that rear downforce, Vettel was similarly paced to Webber…ie he’d lost his advantage. So, as long as Newey can give Vettel his superior rear downforce, and Seb is able to use it so effectively…then I guess he is on track to keep winning.
I don’t think Dan will get such a fair crack of the whip as Vettel. He’s new and will be keen to do the right thing. Horners a bit scared to upset Seb, like when he was disobeying the team orders and he just called him ‘silly’ and did nothing. And Marco protects Seb. So I think Dan is on to a bit of a looser there, albeit in the fastest car on the grid, so not that much of a looser. LOL. But who knows, maybe it won’t be the fastest on the grid next year.
Hi. I’m new. Yes it does look like Vettel will get a fourth title. He’s very lucky to have that car so much faster than all the others. He makes good use of it of course. But I’d love to see him racing the other aces in the same level of machinery. It’s really hard to judge his ability when he has such an advantage. I think now he will definitely have a fourth title , but I don’t think he’s twice as good as Alonso or four times as good as Hamilton, I’d put him just under them.
