    Forgotten, just like Multi 21 ,ok.He ''apologized'' at the same time his lawyers were sending several pages to RBR detailing how he was under no obligation to move over for Webber.. or stay behind him.

    Ricci, now you are talking ,he is the real deal,and of course he will remain on the Ferrari shopping list.

    LH liked a post basically stating the FIA were a sham. So you have zero point to make here. Vettel has been punished. They go racing and the world turns. Webber moved on as well. IN the end we are not curing cancer in F1.

    Turned in on him now. FFS. Your perceptions are of the ****ing charts. You make it sound like he rammed Webber of the track, and that it was on purpose! Get real and get over the fact that your little hearing didn't turn out the way you hoped, your endless droning on about this and every time Vettel has farted is getting on my and everyone elses tits.

    There's always these little moments when someone can rehabilitate their persona... yet they fail miserably... probably because of the mentality that got them where they are in the first place.

    I like Lewis... hes not my favorite driver... but I do like him. I think his faults get waaaaaaaayyy overblown. But in this instance... here he had a chance to one-up on the perception game and just either shut-up or turn the tables a bit with some witty opinion. Instead, he pulled the "disgrace" card... the "ohhhhhh the children" card and now with his stupid social media "Like" of a fanboy's overly biased assessment of the FIA. It just makes him look like the guy people like to say he is. Whatever.

    In many ways these guys can't win the personality game and we complain about how sanitized everything has become. On one hand, we criticize athletes as overpaid celebrities who really don't care about the sport itself... just the money, but when they do have a personality... or in Vettel's case, just react on sheer emotion, good or bad, due to their outright passion for what they do... we vilify them just the same.

    Maybe it's a difference between European vs. American mindsets... I really don't know. I'm not a NASCAR fan at all, but I know the one reason it's so popular is that these guys are out in front of the fans, being themselves... they get pissed... they throw haymakers in the pits. It's not about the fight... it's that they care enough to get that mad and that translates into passion for what they do and the fans engage that. There's nothing worse to a fan to be crazed about their team or sport only to realize they are more excited about what's going on then players themselves. It becomes a bad emotional investment and people lose interest or at least the full on passion they had. I like that Vettel loses his sh*t sometimes.. it just shows me that in the end he's just crazed about what he does and that makes me want to watch the race.

    And at the end Rosberg did practice for the future but as one can see even back then he was not as good in doing so compared to his later team mate :D

    I hope Jean Todt decides to act, no driver is bigger than the sport, isn't that what they are trying to do to vettel...... I may hate elton, but regardless, he does put himself on a silver platter every time he opens his mouth. Still, as it's elton, the FIA won't do anything, they are frightened they will be hauled over the coals for having the audacity to enforce against sky's darling

    The princess has spoken...Not only does Ellie want to command team strategy, she now expects the FIA to answer to her.

    The FIA were never going to anything. For the first time in many years we actually have a WDC battle between two teams, they weren't going to stuff that up!

    Yep, the questions put to Lewis Hamilton and Sebastian Vettel during the press conference prior to the Austrian GP were completely pathetic.
    Journalists really like to milk a story, and stir up the s***.
    This incident is now in the past; it's done and dusted, so why do they insist in bringing it back to the surface, I don't know.
    Or rather, I suspect that they expect to form people opinions by steering the news in the direction they wish.
    No different from politics really ...
