F1 Fanatic

I agree, and moreover, reading Vettel’s answer he also feels like that @thorpedo, he hasn’t put a thought to it until he got asked :p

I’d hope the drivers indeed know they didn’t missed any flags, it was just […]

@thorpedo If the interviewer had asked him this question and he had refused to answer, I have no doubt you’d be complaining about that, too.

@thorpedo He was asked a question about it and gave an answer, I think you’re making a mountain out of a molehill.

@thorpedo – Vettel didn’t directly benefit form Alonso’s crash in Suzuka as he was ahead anyway but regardless of that I think it was equally (if not more so) Alonso’s fault as Räikkönen’s.

@thorpedo

I didn’t say it was dominant all season long, but from summer break on it clearly was.

For Japan, Korea and India maybe. But how was it a dominant car in races that their rivals (especially […]

@thorpedo no but alonso benefited from vettel more tham vettel did from alonso

@thorpedo –

With RB8, it is a shame that he didn’t win every single race since the summer break.

Oh, come on now. You’re acting as if the RB8 was a completely dominant car all season. You know, that in this […]

@thorpedo – Correction- Vettel always finishes at least as high as his car is capable of. It’s ludicrous for you to suggest that in 2007 and 2008, when Vettel was driving a lower-midfield machine, that his results […]

@thorpedo – The Toro Rosso was also far from being a car capable of finishing 8th in the driver’s championship or taking 7 top 6 finishes. Vettel was inspiring throughout his time there, and has continued that […]

@thorpedo – At the same time, starting out in a midfield team doesn’t guarantee you’ll end up at a top team. Vettel had to work his way up to a top team through his talent as well. For such a short career, he’s […]

@thorpedo

You seem to love the stats. OK… lets say that 1992 Jordan was as good as Vettels early career cars. Did Vettel scored his first podium at his 8th race? Did he finished 3 in WDC in his second season. […]

@thorpedo

Did he impress in 2007 and 2008 apart from Monza?

Yes. He qualified and finished top 6 in Valencia and Singapore 08, passed Hamilton in Brazil to get 4th, and was 4th in China 07, to name a […]

@thorpedo –

He needs to show his skills in an inferior car (but I hope not in Ferrari, I would hate that :)). I, personally think that you need to start your career in an “inferior” car and then build your way […]

@thorpedo – Fair enough if you’re not attacking Vettel’s fightbacks, but they wouldn’t need to be constantly brought up, if people like “auto_freak” weren’t so insistent on claiming that Vettel’s racecraft is poor […]

@thorpedo – Winning from the back isn’t that rare, but you had to go back to 2001 to recall one for MSC…

If you’re going to nitpick, and diminish Vettel’s fightbacks by claiming that people didn’t fight him, […]

@thorpedo

There is a very simple explanation. He knows he has a “spaceship” to drive while the other teams… It is the same reason why Barrichello was staying with Ferrari. Webber was better than Vettel in the […]

@thorpedo

Yeah, it is easier to blame someone in an HRT, isnt it?

It’s easy because it was the HRT’s fault. But of course, ignore Karthikeyan admitting he made a mistake, ignore the penalty, ignore the forum […]

@thorpedo

One??? You cannot be serious!

I already stated that all other cases of TO were when one driver was clearly out of championship contention. So, yes, Silverstone 2011 and Istanbul 2009 were the only […]

@thorpedo

So, those are TEAM ORDERS, arent they?

Yes, one that favoured Vettel, and one that favoured Mark Webber. Otherwise they have been allowed to race until one is out of contention for the […]

@thorpedo – In Malaysia, Karthikeyan moved towards Vettel, and that is why Narain was penalised, and later admitted his […]
