    The answer is very simple, Ferrari needs to supply the safety and medical cars. Just put more gold bars in them than MB did with their cars.

    Drank too much celebrating Kimi's victory, then falled from the yacht into the mediterranean, Kimi-style, Bas, and hurt your back?
    Sorry for you; let it heal and get well soon....

    Rgds

    (and I was, of course, very happy for Kimi's victory; somehow, leaving the team without winning again would not have been right; pity that he has to leave at the end of the year, but let's be honest: he could have done slightly better in those five years and found his mojo back sooner...)

    It's nice to see he gets along well with his old team. But a return there will be one of the strangest things I've seen in F1. Ferrari have made their mistakes (singapore upgrades, crucial strategy, their weak approach to playing politics when their opposition is playing every card they can etc) but he really has himself to blame for the majority of his problems. I can forgive a mistake or two, and I have, but the rest? No I quite simply can not. I've been a fan of Vettel for a very long time so these let downs sting. And guess what....Honda and Red Bull are coming. Mercedes should be scared, let alone Ferrari. Mercedes can afford to lose a title fight. Ferrari (Vettel), can't.

    Thanks mate


    Sadly my story isn't as good as that....

    Had a couple of big quad bike crashes and the back injury is recurring, always feel some pain but not like this before. I feel like Kimi at Singapore 2013! Sadly no aki hintsa around to fix it for me (RIP).

    Surely he would never go back there and put up with Max as a clear number 1.

    Even if it was shared number 1 I don't think Vettel stands a chance.

    By the way, did anyone else notice that according to Massa Alonso = Schumacher. I tend to agree, and both are better than anyone else currently on the grid.

    what a load of BS.....you lost....live with it!!!

    Lewis Hamilton has explained how Mercedes' water-pump setback led to a "massive" set-up problem on his Formula 1 car for last weekend's United States Grand Prix.

    Mercedes needed to change the water pumps on both its cars ahead of the Austin race, which led to Hamilton's car having a significant weight imbalance across the front tyres.

    Hamilton said after finishing only third from pole in the US GP he had faced multiple problems, and has now elaborated on the issue that was originally a mystery when he addressed the media post-race.

    "They took the car apart in the morning, and when they put it back together, the car was unbalanced," said Hamilton.

    "So [I had] a massive cross-weight issue. It was something like 50kgs, which was massive.

    "So, the right front and the left rear would take all the weight, the car would not turn through the left hand corners.

    "It felt very strange out there. It felt like I had a massive tail wind or something when I was going through places like Turn 19.

    "Through the right-handers it was a little better, but there are not a lot of right-handers at that track.

    "I think if we hadn't had that problem it would have been a much different race."

    Pirelli upped its rear tyre pressures ahead of the Austin race in response to the changing conditions over the weekend.

    Hamilton's team-mate Valtteri Bottas said those changes, which applied to every team, did not help performance.
