Honesty and emotion are exciting and entertaining, but outbursts like this take way from what little respect I have less for a driver (Vettel in this case, but they all seem like cocks to me at this point).
It's been said on here before, but I'll say it again anyway...doesn't everybody say things in the heat of the moment that they perhaps wouldn't say if they were feeling a bit more measured and had more time to think about the words that come out of their mouth? I actually find it amazing that we don't hear more outbursts over the radio, because it is a high pressure situation that these guys are in. I think it's remarkable how calm they usually sound.
