You aren't wrong...he damn near ended up in third place.

I really thing its the drivers fault, it all started with complaining about this and that and now they have a mess. Damn this is racing and sh-t happens....

Most drivers want to race and win outright and not be given a win. Hamilton did not want to win like that either. Of course he would have done the same thing. LMAO, I was talking to Steven Dougherty, X Nissan factory drive about competitive racing or competitive anything and I said the saying is if you ain't cheating you ain't trying and he replied in racing the saying is if you ain't cheating you ain't winning lol! It just didn't work out for Vettel this time.

If I was his boss I would have given him crap for not fighting to the end for every little bit he could get.

There's a reason why refs let 'em play in the NBA and not make a foul call in the final seconds of the game. Let 'em race.

I enjoyed how VET switched place cards and stuck his middle finger at F1.

The most telling part of Vettel switching the placards was that no one from Mercedes reversed the back the other way!

Another Ferrari tactical error could have made it worse for VET. Forgetting to tell #16 that VET had a 5 second penalty.

You are not supposed to alter things such as those in parc ferme'. Vettel = classless, over rated twit.

Vettel biggest problem is Vettel. Another mistake and lost win. Unimpressive overall again.

You aren't wrong either and that is why I predicted that Vettel would make a mistake to loss the race. I am not a Vettel fan by any means and he often finds a way lose versus winning. He can't win even in a superior car.

The last 2 full season and 1/3 of this = a seriously over rated so called WDC. Ricci showed how little race craft he had at RedBull and sent Vettel off as he defeated him in equal machinery.

All the pundits, press and former F1 drivers can talk about the win being taken from him = NO. Vettel opened that door and nicely all by himself with his stupid error and then was caught steering intentionally over not leaving space per the regs in black and white. He acted like a twit after because he got got caught!!!. Deflected everything with his anger because he got caught and caused the issue himself.

In the midpack had this occurred no announcer or pundit would care. The drivers affected might as it could cost points and money at the end for teams and bonuses etc. But the world would not be ending. Vettel does this and now F1 is the joke of a series. No the joke is Seb. Period!

Renault driver Daniel Ricciardo has said he has heard it all before with regards to a potential move to Ferrari.

Ricciardo has reportedly emerged as a ‘Plan B’ option for the Scuderia just in case they do need to find a replacement for Sebastian Vettel.

Vettel is contracted until the end of next season with Ferrari, but he cannot escape questions about retirement at the end of the current campaign.

Whilst he has continuously rejected those retirement claims, there is no doubt that the four-time World Champion is disillusioned with how Formula 1 is ruled and governed. He does, however, still enjoy driving and racing.

Ricciardo, meanwhile, was also on a list of leading names last season to replace Kimi Raikkonen at Ferrari but, in a shock move, he ultimately decided to leave Red Bull for Renault after the Scuderia put their faith in Charles Leclerc instead.

So, the Aussie is well accustomed to the Ferrari rumours and, even if Vettel was to call it a day at the end of the year, Ricciardo will not be the man replacing him.

“To be honest, I’ve been seeing articles like for the last three or four years consecutively,” Ricciardo told Auto Express about the Ferrari rumours.

“So it’s not new to me now. I have my contract, it’s a hard contract until the end of 2020, it was a two-year deal.

“So if Seb did walk away this year, then that’s his decision, but I wouldn’t be involved in that.”

Ferrari have already ruled out a move for Ricciardo’s former team-mate Max Verstappen.
