I disagree. Vettel is really good, but I just cant put him in the same class as Alonso, Kimi or Hamilton. Give him one of them as teammates, and I'm sure he would be outclassed. Webber is not good enough, so Vettel's pace is somewhat flattered by his teammate.
He's a top driver of course, but certainly not the best on the grid.
And i think he can totally outclass either Hamilton Alonso or Button and even Kimi
Vettel had brought RBR to what it is. They started winning since he joined. I believe the team is building around its drivers. It was no miracle Ferrari were bad 2007 - 2008 and 2009
Alonso came they are maybe not the fastest but they build stable and constant car since Kimi departure.
Mercedes with Hamilton too i believe will work now better even that Schumacher work will be seen this year.
What i was saying about Vettel that he is great in what he did, are you trying to say that 88 in Monaco for Senna was another that stupid moment? Stupid maybe or of course it was, but he proved something there. You don't see the reason behind. In his purpose. Senna was leading 40 seconds and he was going like mad. Does anyone approves that? Everyone knows that as one of the greatest moments in Senna's career. But he failed. But he was GREAT for what he was going for! I appreciate that, i appreciate what Vettel did.
"You need to have the skill and the will but the will must be stronger than the skill" - Senna words
He had guts doing it.
That anyone would have outclassed Vettel... put it this way. Would have anyone from Alonso Hamilton Button or Kimi succeed in delivering 2011 the way Vettel did? We might never find out but in the characters i see that is simply impossible! Hamilton cannot drive smart. Alonso cannot go without silly mistakes or pointing fingers at someone. Kimi doesnt listen orders, and i love that, not that he doesnt follow but he insist on leaving him alone to concentrate, whatsoever he is too stuborn sometimes, like Europe 2005. Button...he is good he is smart he knows what he is doing but he is not fast enough on more occasions. He was struggling even with Baricelo half season and then he was driving with ease.
Ferrari this year had FANTASTIC car towards the end of the season, but only when it comes to the race! On raw pace they were too slow, and that was the only disadvantage. In race i think they had worked twice more good than any other on the tires. They were very strong.
Also, all season i was talking how Alonso was not that great but Massa was bad.
Can you everyone agree that Massa after the tragic accident is different? Thats when drivers mentality, awarned of his own mortality influences his laps and races? He said he worked with psyhologist and towards the end he came back. And what we saw ? He outpaced Alonso lol
Thats how great Alonso is really ?
Ferrari sabotaging Massa on purpose so he could have bigger chances? The team once i loved only cause of Schumi and 2007 cheered for them only cause he lived with Ferrari and now i have even 3x4m flag in my room, i was somehow sad about it. Ferrari its a great team but they did things like this. And i can be mad cause i love Vettel, but if he was driving for Ferrari then i would have been happy. So i don't really think i can say that it is right or wrong, morally, for Alonso to succeed they did the right thing. But its just about that Alonso was slow.
You all guys can say whatever and have your own opinions i respect that and i am not trying to convince you otherwise just saying.
Big driver won't complain to another if he didn' let him pass so he could have fought for the title Abu Dhabi Alonso VS Petrov 2010
He can point out about several mistakes in the middle of the season or someone blocking him ignorin blue flags but waving fingers towards Petrov for fighting with him was absolutley shamefull for a driver of the caliber of Alonso is. I respect him and Hamilton and Button and Kimi but they are just level behind Vettel. Vettel is different. 3 titles in a row don't come just like that.
There are some that turn the ball on the other side and saying that it is cause of the car. You all really think it was about the car? If it was about the car 2011 would have been repeated. Thats what happenes when he get superior car, which it wasnt the case for sure in 2012. And when it comes to them, Alonso had better car in 2010 and yet he lost. So ... i dont see in what really Alonso is greater than Vettel EXCEPT in one thing, that he is twice experienced than him.
