    We are all human. So we all make mistakes. But shouldn't be as much as Vettel. Elton made fewer mistakes, hence the championship leader now. If Elton had the Ferrari, he would have done a lot better than Vettel. :(

    “Logic” it’s nice to see it used in a sport chat that is usually dominated by fan feverd emotions that have made the Lewis sucks thread longer than threads focused on Ferrari content.

    Feel free to start a "Lewis doesn't suck thread". It might actually do well . . . . or not.

    In how many threads do you want to whine about Vettel? And how exactly do you know whether Lewis/Ferrari would have worked at all? You simply take the race results and swap them without looking what is going on within the team both at Mercedes and Ferrari??? Maybe Vettel would be WDC in the Mercedes...how do you know?

    That’s because on a predominantly ferrari fan site, a high percentage of members think elton is a prick and he is universally hated as the enemy would be, just as MANCHESTER united fans hate Liverpool players and fans

    As you say pete, Vettel in the Mercedes would be an eight times champion by now, given the Mercedes dominated the sport for the previous four seasons almost by two seconds a lap at some circuits, while whoever was in the ferrari was going after scraps. This year, Vettel would have won just as much as elton, possibly more given Elton’s bad races this year.

    Anyone arguing for elton to come to ferrari clearly knows little about ferrari, who have stated categorically that they have NEVER EVER WANTED the pillock in our car. His attitude and personality is toxic, and a team such as ferrari is exactly that, it is FERRARI, it’s not just a team with a supposed star driver... the star is Ferrari. If they don’t get that, then they will never understand the Scuderia and their decision making

    All witty quips aside. Elton and Ferrari are an organizational mismatch. It would not benefit either entity.

    You’re right they have. This year and last year they’ve been able to produce the fastest car on the grid. That’s something they haven’t done in a long time.

    Point is it doesn’t matter how fast the car is they won’t win anything with weak minded Vettel as No. 1 driver. Mercedes has had the slower car for 2 years in a row and Vettel is struggling to get it over the line. The writing was on the wall when Ricciardo curb stomped him in 2014. Vettel needs a car which is 1.5 seconds faster like in his Redbull days to win but he is not gonna get that.

    And he deserves a hard time from them, the Tifosi like winners, and at the moment ferrari look far from it. It doesn’t diminish his achievements as a four time champion though, and as the measure of elton. I know who I’d throw my keys too if there was a race between equal cars, and that person drives in red

    Seriously, slower car, that is hilarious, there is not a driver on the grid that would not like to switch places with Hamdashian for every year since 2014.

    You are either trolling or you really do not know better...
    The Mercedes last year was the faster car as seen in Silverstone when it was miles ahead of the field. Ferrari had its chance when Mercedes had trouble getting the tires work but once they have sorted that the car showed its potential being faster and Ferrari was on the back foot. To say the Mercedes was the slower car is more than ridiculous and show that your entire post can not be taken serious in any way...

    I prefer someone who whine and cry but that doesn't commit errors in the track! Vettel has been disappointing, so many stupid errors in the most important moments!

    Urkel is quite the driver, he’s one of the chaps who brings it every race, no question. Yes, he’s always had top flight equipment, can’t blame him for that. I’ll suggest we have enough imbeciles on team Ferrari, we don’t need a petulant ingenue as headliner. And anyway, it would be to impossible to celebrate a victory after listening to another long winded, self serving synopsis followed by the eye glazing ‘best fans anywhere’ sign off. We’re blessed to be Hamilton free. ;)

    LewHam doesn't hold a candle to Vettel in the diaper-filling fits of crying department.

    I'm not sure there would be much of a difference in the points if Ham was at Ferrari. The team strategists would still screw the driver over.
