He doesn't suit the V6s, and it allowed drivers like Ricciardo to rattle him. Not dissimilar to when F1 went to grooved tyres and thinner cars and Damon was off the boil. Managed the odd good result (usually in the wet, when the grooved tyres weren't a thing), but his driving style wasn't adapatable. Vettel when things align ups his game to a level others can't match. Vettel when things aren't quite right, he becomes above average and that's about it. |

Vettel will be an enigma. There’s no doubt he’s a great, as his four titles prove, but even so, I would hesitate to put him among the all time greats. He made mistakes in his early days, but then after he won his title, in the best car he seemed to be unstoppable. Then Ricciardo came along and the car didn’t suit Vettel, so he struggled. He redeemed himself going to Ferrari initially, but then after a season or two the mistakes crept in and he’s thrown away any hope of challenging Merc for the title. Just imagine what Alonso would have done in those three seasons with Ferrari

A great driver with a narrow window of performance.
If he were a Mercedes F1 car he would be labelled a diva perhaps. |

Indeed, Mark Webber said when things don’t go well for Seb, he’s never seen anyone so childish

Not for Lewis? Unlike Lewis, Seb has already scored four titles in a row and he scored his 4th one at age 26 (Lewis was 32 when he made it to his fourth one, just like Schumi). And we don't know what would've happened, had Rosberg not retired after his title, perhaps Lewis would still be a three times champion.

And yes, it was because of Ricciardo. I would say Ricciardo made a mistake moving to Renault, and I already know why Mercedes won't give him a seat... |

Of course he does. So would I. But I don't see Wolff having any interest in Vettel right now, just because he's German....

Andrew Benson article yesterday suggests that Vettel's career is not over, and that both Hamilton and Vettel will stay where they are for a while:
Hamilton: "There is no dream of another team. I am with my dream team. There's not a thing in my way, as I'm not trying to move. I'm with the people who have cared from day one. [...] the best team". Vettel: "Whatever the [Ferrari] deal will be like, it is whatever I and the team will be comfortable with. In terms of duration, normally the contracts I had in the past were all a three-year deal." |

Let's see if Vettel comes back stronger if and when this season gets started. He's said recently that he misses racing and would be happy with just a 10 race calendar

lets say for example the racing starts up before a cure...how many millionaire athletes risk coming back?
SV has won titles and its very unlikely that Ferrari will prioritize a title bid for him over a bid for his younger team mate. and then there will be the press and fandom hounding you incessantly and questioning your ability. is it worth the drama? obviously this question is contingent on how long thing go on for, but would you come back if you were him? |
