    Have you heard/seen/watched some of the stuff/antics/body language from him over the years ? That basis will do for me thanks.
    He can drive for sure but I sure don't dig him one iota.

    I was there. Watched the start, then spent the rest of the night drinking over priced beer.

    Disappointing to say the least.

    I'd go so far as to say that's reason enough for his employer.

    Did Vettel get any future penalty for that move? Not an F1 lover but I did see it was raining so made sure to watch the start of the race.

    Seemed crazy that approaching a left hander he veered to the left of the track, seemed a really dangerous move to me and no wonder Kimi asked "what the hell was he doing" over the radio! Surprised he was that polite.

    I think, as has been said, Vettel was just doing his job and protecting the turn in as he was in the lead at that point.

    If you have to get pedantic about it, then the thread is about his bedroom poster.

    If his job was to wipe out his team mate, a Red Bull and a McLaren, he did it well. Not a cock at all.

    I don't have to be pedantic about it except when it comes to you but I see you veered off line first though - bit like Vettel according to the comments above.

    So Senna did it, Schuey did it, Hamilton does it and Vettel did it on Sunday. If not for Kimi blasting up the inside, out of Vettels view, I'm taking a wild guess here and it is only a guess, that it would have been a perfect pole sitters run up to the first corner or have I got it all wrong ?

    Senna and Schuey tended to do it when they knew if they took the other party out it was to there advantage.

    I'm not talking about taking the other party out, I'm referring to being the lead car off pole, being ahead and changing direction to set up the corner entry.

    Just picked up on this...

    https://www.grandprix247.com/2017/09...a-talks-to-me/

    and it made me smile (actually it made me laugh my socks off)

    Maybe Ayrton has his bedroom wall poster spot.

    Surely Vettel should get a ban for such a reckless and dangerous manoeuvre ?

    No fan of Hamilton, such an arrogant and unpleasant little tosser that totally lacks any sort of class. Belongs in the McDonald's car park with the other rat boys and chavs.

    A bit judgemental dont you think? As for class, what are you hoping for? Jim Clark?

    I don't really follow the sport, I find it rather dull.

    I see that Hamilton doesn't have a big following on here, do the media dislike him too? He doesn't seem to get much coverage (not that I look out for it) for a could soon be 4 time world champion. I thought they'd be all over him. It's a monumental achievement, isn't it?

    Go watch the video again, look to SV's right and look at the amount of space available to him. It was a deliberate move and it backfired

    Of course it was a deliberate move, a blocking move and why not. He was ahead in to the first corner. What he couldn't see was Kimi's missile approach further to his left and that's where the demolition originated from, so you, go watch the video again.

    Brundle and most of the other pundits all said 100% SV and no need for the move, SV misjudged it, he then tried to cut across LH's nose, probably knowing his car was buggered as his dash would have lit up like a Christmas tree, but Hamilton out braked him. Which bit of the video do you want me to watch again?

    Of course his car was buggered, he'd just had the sister car smack into it.

    It was also reported that he was apologising to all at Ferrari over the radio after he spun out.

    As for the Hamilton dislike on here, I'm struggling to see any difference in 90% of the drivers on the circuit. Most of them are arrogant and childish.
    Elite sportsman have to have that self belief, they have to convince themselves that they are the best before they can begin to prove it in their chosen field. Riccardo stands out as one that doesn't need to create that façade.

    Why not? Because it was high risk when he needed lots of points and totally screwed it up!

    Vettel is nowhere near as good a driver as Hamilton, never has been.

    If the BBC ran a Most Annoying Sports Personality of the year competition I think Hamilton would win it year after year.

    As long as F1 is classified as a sport.

    Personally I don't classify anything with an engine or anything requiring judges to give marks i.e. ice skating, dressage as a sport.
    Sport is physical human endeavour and skill.

    You think 2 hours in an F1 car in singapore isnt physical and there is no skill?

    2 hours sat down, steering, accelerating and braking.
    Might as well do it virtually using a computer game.
    Saving all the pollution, noise and wasting of resources.

    Why not just race lawnmowers around a field ?
    It is a hobby/past-time only, not a true sport in my opinion.

    Excess of 6G lateral on a lawnmower, that would be interesting

    If you think there's no skill and effort required in motor racing why not try it and see how you get on versus a professional racing driver? Presumably you'd be making millions in F1 in no time?

    Motor sport is probably one of the most skilful sports there is, how many other sports require the participants to make split second decisions at 200 mph whilst adapting all the time to multiple variables that are constantly changing (tyres, weather, weight, temperature, 19 other cars, etc)?

    The thing about Formula 1 is that more often than not the car is the deciding factor, not necessarily the skill of the driver.

    I'd like to see them swap drivers after every race so that they each get two races per car, and see how they all do then.

    There was a series where they all had identical cars, wasn't there? It was crap.

    The best Cars tend to have the best drivers though and each team has 2 cars not identical but almost, try watching F2 and GP3 all same chassis and engine
    and they arent crap.
