F1 » F1 Driver of the Year vote: Full results


Blah, blah, blah, Vettel has not displayed any talent? Really? In the event none of you watched this year, the RB8 was hardly the world beating car that the RB7 was. I suppose it is easier to discount Vettel because you don't respect him or you feel he is mocking with his finger. I guess Alonso did perform well in a car that was well beneath that of the HRT. His superior talent made that terrible red car look halfway respectable. I mean a teen driving a Reliant Robin would have easily outpaced the Ferrari, had it not been for Alonso. All hail Alonso! And yes my statement is ridiculous for effect, this how you Alonso fans sound to the rest of the fans. Simply ludicrous is the only description of the stupidity voiced on this site.

F1 » F1 Driver of the Year vote: 1st


For all of you Alonso fans whom believe that he drove beyond the performance of the car, how do you explain Massa being so competitive? Could it be that he was given the newest parts all year just as you have all alleged with Vettel? The bottom line is that he is a good driver but does not raise the level of his team or car. He has never done anything in less than a top car in his career. Vettel has more titles, talent, and class than this guy. This poll is nothing more than a popularity contest and has nothing to do with a drivers talent.

F1 » Montezemolo: Era of one man show cannot go on


Thanks Luca, for making my holiday season that much brighter. I will be laughing for days at your entitled comments. The arrogance, lack of innovation, and poor sportsmanship exhibited by you and your team is why you have not won a title, not Bernie or the FIA. I am sending you a cheese platter in the mail, I would hate for you to go without cheese with your whine!

F1 » Stewart maintains view Vettel still isn't an F1 great


@Yernar I am sorry, but the President of the FIA has much more power to influence a race, and or Championship, beyond that of a team principle. The President has the ability to interpret the rules how they like and influence the stewards over a wide range of areas. A team principle has the sole ability to favor one driver over his team mate. For you to insinuate that McLaren withheld parts from Prost, I would say that you would be making a highly speculative and unsubstantiated remark.

@izybluffen I am afraid if epic drives are what you long for, you may sadly never see another in your lifetime. The racing is more entertainment today than the pure sport of the past. The stewards would certainly have a safety car to tighten things up if anyone remotely threatened to spoil a race by lapping the entire field. Also in the races you are referring to, they would only have local yellows even if a driver was dead or their car was on fire in the middle of the track. I think we can agree that no one wants to revert to those deadly days. The only epic drives that the future may hold, are ones where teams gamble in changing weather like Brazil this year or Button's drive in Canada two years ago. I think you will agree that tire gambles are not truly equal to the great drives in the history of the sport.

@Taipan Although on paper Prost may seem "great", he was assisted by the FIA on far too many occasions to state unequivocally that all of his titles were earned on track and deserved. His relationship and personal influence over the then FIA president forever taint him, at least for me. Nevertheless the standard being applied by the majority here on Vettel, that to be a truly great driver one must realize a championship with a team using less than the best equipment, certainly does not apply to Prost.

How is it that Stewart considered Prost among the greatest, yet Vettel is not? Prost won Championships only when in the best car, FACT. Prost had his greatest season in an Adrian Newey designed masterpiece, yet people aren't discounting his achievement. The bottom line is that Vettel has raced for three teams in F1 and has scored points for each, none of which were the best upon his debut. He has exceeded all reasonable expectations and delivered results. I can see the underlying motivation for Stewart, who sees a driver easily eclipsing his personal achievements. But then again, Stewart has often been critical of nearly every driver who displays a skill set that is beyond his own. It must be difficult to get old and bitter.

@Dan You cannot be serious? Alonso did less than nothing at Minardi. Not a single glimpse of anything remotely impressive, he turned laps and finished races. I bet you were on the edge of your seat watching Charles Pic circulate this past season, he did as Alonso did afterall. And your assessment of his performance at Renault is an attempt to make the former Benetton team seem like less than a competitive car, it wasn't. Face it, there is nil evidence to support that Ferdi raises anything, he is simply a driver. Vettel took a lower mid pack team and moved it to the high mid pack. He beat the parent team in the process, with the junior team, and did it in a recycled, year old chassis. I think Seb has done more than enough to deserve respect. If a three time World Champion is not respected then why should anyone respect the likes of Alonso, Button, Hamilton, Raikkonen, or anyone else on the grid? They have all achieved less over a longer career, so what is to respect in them?

@izybluffen It is all subjective, all of the top cars had their strengths and weaknesses, some were better suited for different tracks and/or conditions, so they were victorious. It isn't quantum physics, it is racing. Still you have failed to display the Ferdi is such a skilled driver that he wins in a lesser car, after all he is still in a Ferrari. It isn't like he could win in the HRT, or anyone else for that matter. He certainly didn't win or elevate Minardi in any way. I think your assessment is skewed just to defame and discredit Vettel.
