    MSC didn’t have the Williams pace. The Williams was a better car. It’s a miracle it went down to the Last race of the season. Had the drivers been swapped Schumacher would have been wdc way before the last race that’s for sure.

    I love Ferrari, and yet I will say, just like when Vettel turned into Hamilton in Baku, shameful acts are shameful acts.

    Karma is a ***** in this sport.

    Yes, I was on Ham's side when Vettel flipped out under the SC and tagged him. Vettel is lucky to have not gotten a race ban.

    He’s so stupid.
    He should have been banned 3 or 4 races for this.
    Now he’s trying to be more woke than woke.
    Completely understand now why Binotto fired him so abruptly.

    3 or 4 is overkill.

    I don't care about his politics. I share some of them. Not that it matters. After 18', he should've been gone. Incidents in Baku, France, Germany, Monza, Japan, and US that were absolutely embarrassing.

    I sincerely believe that his analytical capacity is limited.
    .
    Instead of realizing his psychological weakness especially in duels on the track he persisted in his mistakes systematically blaming others.
    Today he still does not understand the reasons for his descent since 2014.

    The one thing that is clear to me is that he is not in the same generational tier as Hamilton and Alonso. Vettel threw away a championship and Alonso nearly took it from him in 2012.

    The last straw for me was Singapore 2017.

    Singapore 2017 was just the cherry on the cake.
    He was so lucky in Brazil 2012.

    Don't even bring that up. I flew 21 hours just to have that **** show to unfold a few meters from me. I was dressed head to toe in red and everyone around me was expressing their sympathy. The Chainsmokers were epic, though! :D

    I didn’t know much about Vet as I got into the sport right in 2014, right before he joined Ferrari. All I knew was he got 4 consecutive championships.

    what turned me off was his unforced spins.

    Yeah, never saw somebody lose their cool on safety car lap?

    something broke in the man, or as my Italians friends tell me hundreds of millions have a way of making a person lose motivation.

    It really is odd, the epitome for me was the German spin. Nobody around him at all. Sure, I get it is raining, but nobody else spun, let alone with the lead.

    I mean you see it even now as it happens when he’s a back marker. Nikita Mazespin, sure, but this is supposed to be a potential GOAT at one point? What the hell happened?

    I think he lost all passion for the sport. He has turned into a character as of lately. I think once Charles showed up, he felt he wasn’t the number one child anymore.
