I'm baffled why everyone wants a good driver and when he is good for too long, begin to hate him. I don't get it.
Vettel is an amazing driver. How soon we forget that he scored the first point for Torro Rosso.
To each his own I guess.

I don't dislike Vettel, and I agree he is very talented too..

Just the sports become boring when you have one team dominant the race so badly and people starts question is the driver or the car.

In Red Bull case... I am pretty sure... it's both.

Yeah, he's an amazing driver. But it's like when Schumacher was dominant...it gets boring year after year.

I'm just always impressed when someone is so good at what they do. Michael Jordan, Tiger Woods, Chip Foose, Schumacher, etc.
I think Adrian Newey impresses me more than anyone. The guy is a savant.

BBC Sport - Formula 1

Latest F1 round up from today in Abu Dhabi and other F1 news. Should be a good race this weekend as its warm and dry there. Hopefully it will be mixed up a bit!

The "gossip" between Raikkonen and Lotus is more exciting than the race...

I am quite shocked about Lotus having difficulties on securing sponsorships since they are one of the top four this season with many podium finish.

Hopefully he can pull out a good start, you know, starting is Webber's weakness...

I have a feeling either Hamilton or Rosberg could take the 1st corner...

alcheng · 11-02-2013, 03:03 PM

BTW.....

Kimi Raikkonen's Lotus excluded from qualifying

alcheng · 11-03-2013, 09:39 AM
