    I miss the old Ferrari 430 Scuderia driving Vettel.

    Thunberg would NEVER agree to Formula 1. Never. Even if they run on 100% sustainable synthetic fuel, she and her cult would still find it a pointless exercise. Hell, even if Formula 1 plants an entire forest to not only offset their carbons and but even for other industries...they'd still find something wrong with it. You can't reason with environmentalists. Give them your hand they'll want your arm.

    I'm convinced that if F1 went fully digital, as in races held on computer simulators, even that they would seek to ban because not only are they using electricity to drive the races, other people may be watching and using precious electricity.

    Don't give them a platform. They're all ******* insane.

    Vettel lost the plot in Baku,with his little road rage spat with Lewis. This confirms that he is on a downward slope,,,Thunderberg can please just trot off.

    Vettel is becoming more a more ridiculous.
    The most illegitimate multi WDC of all time.

    No problem with his behaviour at all. I don’t expect or need other drivers to adopt his approach, but I do admire his intent and actions. He’s his own man, nothing wrong with that.

    Agree with the first part.

    2nd bit I don't...he was an absolute beast in that Red Bull. 2009-10 showed plenty of Mistakes but after that he matured. What it did show is that, like many other F1 drivers, he's very quick but typically only in cars that suit his driving style it seems. He displayed his fierce intelligence many times at Ferrari and his capability to think for the situation unfolding won him races that Ferrari was losing.
    I do agree that he acts on what he believes in more than most others. Seeing him clean up the area he had organized the party at in Silverstone was great. Much more meaningful than an empty tweet.

    The Red Bull RB5 came close to winning without the double diffusor.
    It was the first of a line of great cars created by the technical team led by Newey.
    The Vettel-Webber pairing was relatively weak compared to the Red Bull 2010-2011-2012-2013 level.
    Alonso or Hamilton would have dominated these years even more behind the wheel of these cars.
    No doubt about this.

    Vettel currently has completely gone off the track.(no pun intended)

    F1 drivers have used F1 as a political or socioeconomic platform dependent on the country as of late.

    Why can't they just stick to racing and do their own agenda on their own time.

    What are we expecting to see in 2022??? Sochi--->"Hey Putin, don't invade Ukraine!!!" on helmets??? geeez.

    So Vettel wants to meet with a mentally damaged teenager who has no expertise or experience in eco nonsense and is being used as a pawn by her parents ?

    Alonso's 2012 year was one of the most incredible performances in F1 history.

    Vettel started his downward spiral when he was crushed by Ricciardo in Red Bull... Got lucky a bit during his Ferrari time but his descent resumed when Ferrari decided not to renew his contract...

    Ehh... A think Vettel should be more careful before "agreeing" with a girl with autism who is being exploited by unscrupulous parents.

    Agree on the above, but at least a support for Ukraine wouldn't be as stupid as mentioning Greta as something to taken seriously.

    +10000000000000000000000000000000000 - if one has not read the news = F1 has a major approach to affect its own carbon footprint and Vettel has been open about F1 being slower than he would like to make progress. News to some here LOL????

    In the long run, we could see F1 banned in some countries because of this, if we are not careful.

    Greta Thunberg's form of autism has been diagnosed as Asperger's Syndrome and Obsessive Compulsive Disorder.

    Albert Einstein, James Joyce, Thomas Jefferson, Emily Dickinson and Michelangelo are all thought (by many modern behavioral professionals) to have been on the autism spectrum to some degree.
