You know that isn't true. Vettel is the new 'racing deity'! Bow down and worship the new German über kid with the exhaust gas blowing design of Adrian Newey. |

This should probably be in Armchair Enthusiast, but since Vettel's character has been called into question sometimes, I challenge anyone not to watch this and then not end up thinking he's a pretty decent, rounded character: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SqHYy2yZ4qI

If only we could stop Seb doing that silly and annoying finger thing, it'd be all good. |

What is really impressive though is his lap, it is pinpoint accurate and extremely smooth and very fast! Seb does not abuse the car at all either, the Liana and its tyres would be able to lap like that all day! He is mechanically very sympathetic. If you don't know why he is winning watch Seb's lap against a few of the others, no comparison! I am just blown away! He is very very good! |

Going off at a tangent, I think Christian Horner did himself no favours by telling them not to race. It went directly against what Dieter Mateschitz said last year, so he was being hypocritical, and secondly he said he was afraid there might be repeat of what happened in Turkey last year. In fact they did race, because Mark ignored the instruction, and Seb refers to it in that interview, but there was no collision, so Horner needs to trust his drivers more. Mateschitz wasn't bothered: Quote:

"This is no problem for us," Mateschitz said. "Sebastian realised that Fernando Alonso was gone and could not be caught anymore, so he backed down. This let Mark close in. He would be a very bad racer had he not tried to attack and gain a position."
It's hard to imagine Luca Di Montezemolo having that same philosophy. |

Don't worry, you're not alone. I have had my reservations about him (from Turkey last year, if you want to know), but now I've decided he's a genuinely nice guy as well as being an incredibly fast driver. He wasn't letting on, but he does use those big screens around the circuits to gain information, not just look at birds!
