I was enjoying your post up to this point.
I am glad you enjoyed. After all we all have our own opinions about certain things.
So, if you ask me, he is just perfect. I don't like only one thing with Vettel, on some occasions he is not thinking through and sometimes he can say things that are not so okay.
But on the other hand, he is perfect in way of driving, in strategic moves, when to push when to spare the car, when to be agressive when to calculate things. He is just so constant he is stable. There is only one highlight in his career so far when he cracked under pressure and that was in Montreal 2011. And i think he cracked because he was leading whole race and from nowhere showed up Button and suddenly he needed to push and made mistake, if he got a rhytm before it would be another thing.
You maybe like Alonso Hamilton Button and i respect that.
But i dont see why anyone wouldnt agree with me that after all penalties Vettel got with the car in 2010 he succeed, mentally and with driving.
In 2011 in a stable and fast car he was untouchable, even rumors spread that he couldnt drive in the middle of the pack, Think through why is that so.
In 2012 after a race with 7 first 7 diff winners he came out in the end with a relatively stronger car for a bit than the others and proved he can fight from the back. Abu Dhabi and Brazil? We witnessed history there...those drives were equal to the greatest by my opinion.
And see also from this angel ... Alonso i see he is showing up on twitter, Hamilton we all know had a little funny comments about Button following or not following him. What was Vettel doing? While everyone commented on his drive on his "luck" on that he is not the best that he will crack, Alonso moving three, two and one finger as the season was going to the closure, Vettel stayed calm and just tried to stay focus on his job.
Anyone else aside Vettel in this situation would have cracked towards the end of the season. Alonso Button Hamilton, anyone. Vettel was just looking down to his drive and i dont made this up, this is how it was for real.
Thats some character ...
