  1. He didn't perform better. He finished behind.
  2. One last point I'd like to make on that - Vettel has had less track time than Ricciardo so you have to take that into consideration.
  3. yugin96 said: You realise you are just asking to be flamed with baiting comments like that. I don't care, he always has to be right, even when he is clearly wrong. If I asked why Hamilton was behind in standings it is either "DNF'S DUE TO ISSUES!!!" OR "MERCEDES SABOTAGE!" if I ask why Vettel is behind it is always "RICCIARDO IS A BEAST M8, VETTEL IS A FRAUD AND SLOW" To be honest, I wouldn't even count Australia, but if people are going to count Austria and Monaco, I am going to count Australia. Out of 8 races it is 5-3, not counting Australia it is 5-2. I accept that Vettel has been out done a little, but not by much and not as often as the stats would have you believe. Britain and Canada are examples of strategy going against him and instead for Ricciardo, although full credit goes to Ricciardo for his excellent performances in this season.
  4. I'm just saying, Vettel wouldn't have been pushing all the time, especially since he is running low on PU's. I didn't say you were, just in general.
  5. I'd be pretty worried (edit: if I were a Vettel fan) about the fact that Ricciardo finished less than 10 seconds behind Vettel despite being knocked down to P15 after the first lap. I doubt Vettel was pushing as hard most of the time, Ricciardo was pushing a lot because he had ground to make up.  You will always find a way to discredit Vettel so I honestly don't care.  You think Vettel wasn't pushing when he had to battle with Fernando, the Hulk, Kimi, Button and Hamilton? Ok. Well you know I didn't point out all the specifics, but whatever you say. I'd quite like to hear those specifics. Vettel was up against Alonso all race long and not till when Alonso got stuck behind Ricciardo for a few laps was P4 guaranteed. Yes, agreed. It's probably one of the better (and ironically almost completely unpublicised) rule changes in recent times. Seeing drivers pile into the hairpin three or four at a time was mega. I doubt Vettel was pushing to the max the entire time, he was saving fuel a fair amount while behind Alonso. Then when Alonso's tyres went, he was probably told to back off and make his last, hence why the gap from the Ric-Alo battle didn't increase, when you'd have thought it would have.  In comparison, Ricciardo was fighting all race long and pushing most of the time.  Anyway, I'd be concerned If I was a Hamilton fan, you know, losing out right now in the championship. 
  6. It isn't 7-1 in races.  Australia - Vettel (Retired with issues, issues in Quali) Malaysia - Vettel (Ricciardo retired, although he was behind anyway close to the end) Bahrain - Ricciardo China- Ricciardo  Spain - Ricciardo (Vettel retired from Quali) Monaco - Ricciardo (Vettel DNF'd while ahead + Issues in Quali ) Canada - Ricciardo Austria - Ricciardo (Vettel retired) Britain - Ricciardo  Germany - Vettel  Statistically it is 7-3 but Vettel has retired 3 times right near the start of the race so really it should be more like 4-3.  Monaco -  probably would have been 1 point to Vettel over Ric due to the nature of the track. Austria - no reason why he couldn't have beaten Ric, although nothing suggests he would have Australia - Probably wouldn't have, but Ricciardo was running an illegal car so he got DSQ'd anyway.  Then in Britain, Red Bull have an awesome strategy for Vettel which puts him behind Ric. But whatever right?

    Question of the Day Thread

    I think being less shy, being more out going. By far my biggest flaw is that.
  10. Vettel beating Ricciardo was good, Alonso-Ricciardo was a pretty good battle and Bottas getting second was nice. They do hype Bottas up a bit, he is a good young driver with a few podiums, Heidfeld got a lot of podiums, still wasn't a champion, need to give him time.  Good race overall. 
  11. Wet weather is far harder than some SC restarts, Vettel has had to deal with those before too.
  12. I'm not saying Hamilton isn't talented at all, I am just saying. Anyway, he wasn't expected to win the title in 2007. they just wanted a decent first season, they probably would have been happy with some podiums and a 4th place in the WDC.  Vettel's 2008 win in the STR is better than Hamiltons first win, hands down. Vettel  nearly robbed Hamilton of the title in 2008 and finished well in the races after the first 5.  "You're clutching at straws for whatever reason. Probably frustration about Vettel once again losing out to Daniel and Seb's reputation crumbling faster than the PiCK UP!-Cookie I'm about to eat while being amused by your comments" I'm not really frustrated at all. Most reasonable human beings understand that people have ups and downs and this year just isn't Vettels year, just like 2011 wasn't Hamiltons and that 2008 wasn't Raikkonens. Raikkonen was nowhere in the second half of 2008 and first bit of 2009, yet in 2012 he came back better than he was then and in 2013 looked just as good. Give it a couple of years and then we'll see where everyone stands, far too early to judge now. Ricciardo could fade away next year into obscurity while Vettel is winning. But of course, if that happens then we all know what people will say. Can't say I care about most people's opinion on certain drivers as 90% of commenters on various sites (PF1 being by far the worst) are too deluded and blinded by their own fanboyism to see things reasonably. Things are great right now for Vettel, but time will tell, you can't write off 5/6 years (2007-2013 was on the whole, good) of good driving based on half a season, especially because of the new cars being radically different.

    Question of the Day Thread

    MW3 isn't the worst game ever, I'm sorry but that is just plain wrong, I don't like it at all, but it isn't the "worst game ever". It might  be the worst you've played, but worst ever? No.  I don't know the worst one ever, but the worst one I've played is hard to decide, I don't buy bad games. I guess it would have to be Dead Rising 2. I just didn't like it, barely played it. 
  14. Ah, so you have no legit come back, so I must be trolling. Ok, whatever you say.  Clearly the words of someone who has been proven wrong.
  15. How can you flag that for abuse? You must be the easiest person on Earth to insult.  They gambled when they promoted him, they didn't know he'd turn out to be a good driver, they took a risk and it paid off. No, when did I say that? Putting words in my mouth. I'm saying, Hamilton never proved himself in a lesser car before he got his chance at a top team, like a fair  amount of other top drivers have done now and in the past. 
  16. You don't know what will happen tomorrow, so it is not obvious, Williams might get a great start, both get past Rosberg and then make it really difficult.  I guess you are just in a bad mood that Hamilton failed AGAIN
  17. Both had to prove themselves in a below par car first. Are you mentally challenged? You cannot dispute what I said.  Raikkonen in 1 year proved his worth (some what against the odds) and got a McLaren drive and Vettel managed to pull off some great results in a Toro Rosso and got promoted to Red Bull. Sorry if you don't like it, it is a fact. Buemi didn't prove himself, and didn't get promoted, Ricciardo did and got rewarded. Is that hard to see for you or something?
  18. He didn't really have it hard in F1 at the start though, like Vettel, Alonso or Raikkonen. He jumped straight into a winning car.
  19. Well it isn't obvious considering the Williams are behind.

    What channel is broadcasting it? I don't like their calendar system. 10 races from September - June EDIT: Also, Senna and Prost both in Formula E :p

    I guess if I watch it then I'd support Virgin and Da Costa. If I watch it that is, I'll watch the first few and see if they're good.

    Question of the Day Thread

    College days: 7:00am: Wake up 7:30am: Leave for College 8:55am: College starts 3:55pm: College Ends (Variable though, depending on the day of the week and where my free periods are) 5:10pm: Get home from College 5:10pm - 7:00pm (Tea then PC/PS4) 7:00pm - 8:00pm (Exercise) 8:00pm - 10:45pm (College Work/PC/PS4/Shower/Anything else I need to do) 10:45pm (Bed) On the weekends I do pretty much nothing so I wont even bother posting that in detail. It is pretty much wake up between 10:00am and 12:00am, then play PC/PS4 or do any random things until around 5:30pm, when I have tea then it pretty much stays the same as college days except I go to bed between 12:00pm and 2:00am Sometimes there is a job to do (Like the 17th I worked for about 7 hours) but it isn't frequent. Too much spare time.
