    Or how they keep giving Rosberg sound bites and his latest was that "Bottas is doing a really good job of getting under Hamilton's skin"...I don't see that at all. Hamilton has done a great job of getting under Vettel's skin and Vettel has made lots of dumb unforced errors lately...

    I like how he radioed in that he was faster than Vettel and before they could radio him back to tell him to hold position he had already passed Vettel!

    Watching Bahrain on the espn app on applets and there is no commentary just the sound from the cameras. I’m sure it has something to do with licensing probably but it’s kinda cool to listen to the cars, breaking, shifting, etc.

    Disregard: started working on lap 3.

    I agree. Was really disappointed he said that.

    Vettel had an interview in this months F1 Racing Magazine. As much as I think he is a tool, the interview made me think a bit differently about him. He talked about how he mentally processed and got over the crash last year while leading in Germany (which I really don't think he got over like he wants to tell himself, but I like how he verbalized how he dealt with it), he hates (anti) social media, and he collects Beatles albums, on vinyl, because he likes the process of listening to an album, versus digital downloads. Made me look at him a bit differently than a robo-finger wagging and pointing driver who complains too much. All of that is true, and he does mentally crumble, and I think he is probably the least talented of the multi-World Champs, but I look at him a bit differently now.

    :D:D It is odd how when the greats are discussed, its always, Fangio, Schumacher, Hamilton, Alonso, Prost, Stewart, Clark.......even Moss. Vettel gets left out. Alonso is mentioned more with only two titles. If Vettel can't get out of DRS range in a lap or three, it's not his race. I think Chuck the Clerk will really show us how mediocre he really is this season. Like Dan Rick did.

    Vettel did have an odd look on his face a lot lately. I think he's scared of the Kid, should be interesting.

    Chuck had first place locked up, but his "great" Firerarri denied him of that. Well they threw the safety car out to make sure Ferrari stayed on the podium though. So there's that

    Has anyone said how he did testing last week?

    He was second one day and I believe 9th the next when there were more participants. As much as I like Kubica...I think Mick deserves to be there more (but not in a Williams!)

    Let's see how he does in F2 first before getting too excited. I watched his first two races this past weekend, he's not there yet. He needs more experience.

    First of all, you're stretched things a little with Alonso in that group. Especially when you left Senna out, which renders anything else you have to say on this topic null and void. I'm questioning whether you should even be allowed in this thread. And let me say preemptively that "I forgot" is not a valid excuse. He should have been first on the list.:Poke: :D

    Second, you left out at least a couple of multiple champions that made me respond to your post, precisely because I don't see how you could make a case that they are more talented than Vettel. (Piquet? Really?) In conclusion, you and I both know that he is not the least talented multi-time champion. :D

    As an aside, the Moss inclusion reminds me of Pedrosa: some people will just never get it. :D
